Preserve original data and headers in the parsed packet. #15

This allows programs to reconstruct the original packet(s) for an individual key in a stream of keys, amongst other things.

Many uses for this library may require the key data to be distributed completely unchanged. In the case where a file being parsed contains multiple PGP keys (e.g. from a keyserver dump), this is not possible without preserving the original data in the packets.

I implemented this also in issue 14, there is also an idea for a test case: commit 4b4810ccb4a2d6908fe9048acbf0ad57b8bf8023

Ah, great, thanks. Any idea when there might be a new release?

No, @toofishes needs to merge the pull requests.
