Unsound usages of unsafe implementation from bytes to u32 #81

Hi, I am scanning the ewasm_api in the latest version with my own static analyzer tool.

Unsafe conversion found at: src/lib.rs#L426

    let ret = unsafe {
        native::ethereum_create(
            value.bytes.as_ptr() as *const u32,
            data.as_ptr() as *const u32,
            data.len() as u32,
            address.bytes.as_mut_ptr() as *const u32,
        )
    };

This unsound implementation would create a misalignment issues if the type size of bytes is smaller than the type size of u32.

This would potentially cause undefined behaviors in Rust. If we further manipulate the problematic converted types, it would potentially lead to different consequences such as access out-of-bound. I am reporting this issue for your attention.
