Expose Document and Writer objects to callers #15

The ability to access the Document and PdfWriter objects during document generation was needed. It allows me to do things like set page size and rotation, and control how metadata of the PDF.

I chose to expose it by exposing an Action<PdfWriter, Document> in the constructor for PdfActionResult.

Note: Using this functionality requires the calling project to reference iTextSharp and itextsharp.xmlworker. Hey, if you need it, go for it. I'm open to suggestions.

Example code for setting page size and using landscape mode:

  return new PdfActionResult(model, (writer, document) =>
            {
                document.SetPageSize(new Rectangle(1000f, 1000f, 90));
                document.NewPage();

            });

This is done and ready to be merged :)
