Improved `delegatecall` proxy contract factory (Solidity) [v0.0.5]

* Shoutouts:
* 
* Bytecode origin https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6ic49q/any_assembly_programmers_willing_to_write_a/dj5ceuw/
* Modified version of Vitalik's https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6c1jui/delegatecall_forwarders_how_to_save_5098_on/
* Credits to Jorge Izquierdo (@izqui) for coming up with this design here: https://gist.github.com/izqui/7f904443e6d19c1ab52ec7f5ad46b3a8
* Credits to Stefan George (@Georgi87) for inspiration for many of the improvements from Gnosis Safe: https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts
* 
* This version has many improvements over the original @izqui's library like using REVERT instead of THROWing on failed calls.
* It also implements the awesome design pattern for initializing code as seen in Gnosis Safe Factory: https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts/blob/master/contracts/ProxyFactory.sol
* but unlike this last one it doesn't require that you waste storage on both the proxy and the proxied contracts (v. https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts/blob/master/contracts/Proxy.sol#L8 & https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts/blob/master/contracts/GnosisSafe.sol#L14)
* 
* 
* v0.0.2
* The proxy is now only 60 bytes long in total. Constructor included.
* No functionalities were added. The change was just to make the proxy leaner.
* 
* v0.0.3
* Thanks @dacarley for noticing the incorrect check for the subsequent call to the proxy. 🙌
* Note: I'm creating a new version of this that doesn't need that one call.
*       Will add tests and put this in its own repository soon™. 
* 
* v0.0.4
* All the merit in this fix + update of the factory is @dacarley 's. 🙌
* Thank you! 😄 
* 
* v0.0.5
* Huge design problem was overwriting the last 9 bytes of you extra "_data" array with zeros! 😱
* If you had this deployed please redeploy the updated version.

To be clear, the unsafeness of this is just because this contract may be inherited and someone calling the function from within its child may get corrupted memory contents but now that I check closely neither is the free memory pointer being updated at the end so the problem still stands.

The point being that whoever was using this contract as was without inheriting it is totally fine and honestly I'm gonna revert the change since I feel that these functions should instead be considered external.

Was playing around with this for the GnosisSafe and used the following to generate the contractcode without the "unsafeness"

function buildProxyCode(address masterCopy)
        public
        pure
        returns (bytes contractCode)
    {
        contractCode = abi.encodePacked(
            bytes23(0x603160008181600b9039f3600080808080368092803773), 
            masterCopy, 
            bytes17(0x5af43d828181803e808314602f57f35bfd)
        ); 
    }

Something happens in that createProxyImpl() function that doesn't let me deploy to Rinkeby via Infura or via my own Geth node. With local Ganache it works though. I am on pragma solidity ^0.5.0. Any idea what I have to change?

Which function does call(gas, proxyContract, 0, add(_data, 0x20), dataLength, 0, 0) call?

Excuse me for a stupid question, but is this safe or unsafe to inherit from this contract and call its functions?

Which function does call(gas, proxyContract, 0, add(_data, 0x20), dataLength, 0, 0) call?

It calls whatever function you want! 😄 Just need to specify the correct function ID as the first 4 bytes of the calldata you pass along! 👍

Excuse me for a stupid question, but is this safe or unsafe to inherit from this contract and call its functions?

Yeah, that should be perfectly OK! 👍 However, I'd probably deploy this somewhere on mainnet and just call it with an external call from another contract.
That way you prevent bloating the other contract and save some deployment costs. 😄 👍

And I add a ProxyRouter contract. https://gist.github.com/VieYang/44143dd927c6bd6c09a21672fdc6ebc9

Is there something error? thank you.

about add(_data, 0x20), why add 0x20 for _data?
