Scale previously was a huge stack waster. This caused the failures seen in: nim-lang/Nim#13206 The test =tests/tests.nim= previously required a stack of about 3600 kB to avoid a stack overflow. With the =Scale= being a =ref object= we get that down to 135 kB!

I have no idea why github pretends travis didn't perform a build of this. It certainly did and it passed. So merging. |

The test =tests/tests.nim= previously required a stack of about 3600
kB to avoid a stack overflow. With the =Scale= being a =ref object= we
get that down to 135 kB!
I simply checked the impact of making each used object a
ref objecton thetests.nimtest case.
