Description: facilities for basic binary value packing and unpacking

This class provides facilities for basic binary value packing and unpacking.

The Pickle class supports appending primitive values (ints, strings, etc.) to a pickle instance. The Pickle instance 
grows its internal memory buffer dynamically to hold the sequence of primitive values. The internal memory buffer is 
exposed as the "data" of the Pickle. This "data" can be passed to a Pickle object to initialize it for reading.

When reading from a Pickle object, it is important for the consumer to know what value types to read and in what order 
to read them as the Pickle does not keep track of the type of data written to it.

The Pickle's data has a header which contains the size of the Pickle's payload. It can optionally support additional 
space in the header. That space is controlled by the header_size parameter passed to the Pickle constructor.
