Problem

The problem is about how to deploy a smart contract with its constructor's inputs using nim-web3.

Some thoughts:
The EthSend has a data field which embodies the compiled code of the contract, probably the constructor's parameters should be passed/encoded as part of the data field, like <smartcontract code><parameters of constructor> but couldn't find the encoding procedure in this library.

Original issue by @staheri14. This is also an issue for SWAP accounting that also requires a constructor: waku-org/nwaku#323

@zah or someone else do you have any ideas for how to do this within nim-web3 library? Would be very useful. Also see previous discussion in Nimbus discord.
