Use bytes interface value for zero native type struct fields instead of dynamic list (#981)

* Use bytes interface value for zero native type struct fields instead of dynamic list

If a struct has a byte array/slice field and it happens to be the zero
value, a dynamic list object was returned. This caused issues with
functions taking `Bytes` via arguments, as the type checker will accept
such functions, but they might fail at runtime.

To work around this, the raw bytes array/slice is returned in case of an
zero value.

* Remove unused special handling cases for retrieving field values

For most types, it is good enough to use the raw interface values for
null types. Hence the logic of getFieldValue has been adjusted to remove
some special handling code.
