Added support for variable length null terminated strings #1

This uses the 'S' format character. Due to the inability to precalculate the width, 'S' doesn't work with CalcLength() or Pack(). PackTo and Unpack work fine.

The CalcLength() and Pack() issues has been resolved on my fork. I have since made some major changes and reformatted a good chunk of the code and add a couple of tests. Added object/key support to unpack using "b(keyName)" in the format string. Also changed it so that Pack() allocates and returns a buffer. Some of the changes break backwards compatiblity, so I'm spinning it off as bufferpack.
