Some PDBs or object files can contain references to other PDBs
where the real type information lives. When this happens,
all type indices in the original PDB are meaningless because
their records are not there.
With this patch we add the ability to pull type info from those
secondary PDBs.

Until now, our use case for the visitor has been to take a stream of bytes
representing a type stream, deserialize the records in sequence, and do
something with them, where "something" is determined by how the user
implements a particular set of callbacks on an abstract class.
For actually writing PDBs, however, we want to do the reverse. We have
some kind of description of the list of records in their in-memory format,
and we want to process each one. Perhaps by serializing them to a byte
stream, or perhaps by converting them from one description format (Yaml)
to another (in-memory representation).
This was difficult in the current model because deserialization and
invoking the callbacks were tightly coupled.
With this patch we change this so that TypeDeserializer is itself an
implementation of the particular set of callbacks. This decouples
deserialization from the iteration over a list of records and invocation
of the callbacks. TypeDeserializer is initialized with another
implementation of the callback interface, so that upon deserialization it
can pass the deserialized record through to the next set of callbacks. In
a sense this is like an implementation of the Decorator design pattern,
where the Deserializer is a decorator.
This will be useful for writing Pdbs from yaml, where we have a
description of the type records in Yaml format. In this case, the visitor
implementation would have each visitation callback method implemented in
such a way as to extract the proper set of fields from the Yaml, and it
could maintain state that builds up a list of these records. Finally at
the end we can pass this information through to another set of callbacks
which serializes them into a byte stream.

This adds method and tests for writing to a PDB stream. With
this, even a PDB stream which is discontiguous can be treated
as a sequential stream of bytes for the purposes of writing.

We have need to reuse this functionality, including making
additional generic stream types that are smarter about how and
when they copy memory versus referencing the original memory.
So all of these structures belong in the common library
rather than being pdb specific.
