MSF container layer for Program Database (PDB) library

This crate contains code for reading, creating, and modifying PDB files that use the MSF container format. Currently, all PDBs produced by Microsoft tools use the MSF container format.

This is a lower-level building block for PDBs. Most developers should use the ms-pdb crate, instead of directly using the ms-pdb-msf crate. The ms-pdb-msf crate is published separately to aid in minimizing dependencies and enforcing good layering.
