Changes: document incompatibility with <= 15.1 binary signers
Context
Up to v15.1 signature binary raw encoding was Data_encoding.Fixed.bytes because all signatures were of same length. It is now Variable.byte because bls signatures are bigger. But binary encoding of variable bytes is the length + the byte instead of just the bytes. Retro compatibility is broken!
