Simon Tatham 005ca6b257 Introduce a centralised unmarshaller, 'BinarySource'.
This is the companion to the BinarySink system I introduced a couple
of weeks ago, and provides the same type-genericity which will let me
use the same get_* routines on an SSH packet, an SFTP packet or
anything else that chooses to include an implementing substructure.

However, unlike BinarySink which contained a (one-function) vtable,
BinarySource contains only mutable data fields - so another thing you
might very well want to do is to simply instantiate a bare one without
any containing object at all. I couldn't quite coerce C into letting
me use the same setup macro in both cases, so I've arranged a
BinarySource_INIT you can use on larger implementing objects and a
BinarySource_BARE_INIT you can use on a BinarySource not contained in
anything.

The API follows the general principle that even if decoding fails, the
decode functions will always return _some_ kind of value, with the
same dynamically-allocated-ness they would have used for a completely
successful value. But they also set an error flag in the BinarySource
which can be tested later. So instead of having to decode a 10-field
packet by means of 10 separate 'if (!get_foo(src)) throw error'
clauses, you can just write 10 'variable = get_foo(src)' statements
followed by a single check of get_err(src), and if the error check
fails, you have to do exactly the same set of frees you would have
after a successful decode.
