Merkleise SSZ container elements (#595)
Reasons to use `merkle_hash` instead of  `hash` for containers:

1) **Smaller witnesses**: `BeaconState` is a somewhat wide container (26 fields as of now, likely 30+ in phase 2). With concatenation and plain concatenation the size of the Merkle witnesses for the top level are ~32 bytes per field element.
2) **Faster incremental hashing**
3) **Consistency**: Consistent with `merkle_hash` for lists/vectors.
