Description
some contract methods do not require any parameters. We'd like the ability to define an api as follows:
contract_api! {
pub fn do_something() -> bool;
}
Currently the contract api fails to compile if any method has zero arity. A temporary workaround is to specify the empty protobuf in the signature, but this is undesirable since it adds unnecessary code.

Research direction
Start at the contract_api! entry point and inspect how method signatures with no parameters are handled. Confirm that a declaration such as do_something() -> bool compiles without an explicit empty protobuf, while preserving existing parameterized methods.
