fuzzer #177

I'd like a way to make random inputs to vg so to make small test cases that cause errors. The typical name for this kind of tool is a fuzzer. vg fuzz.

Do we still intend to write a fuzzer for vg? Since most valid protobufs would be semantically nonsensical, we can't expect reasonable outputs, but we could try it for finding crash bugs and terrible error messages.
