Per #823 and #827, making PKCS#7 work interoperably will involve supporting at limited number of BER productions, one of which is indefinite lengths. The current built-in `Length` type rejects them, as a proper DER parser is expected to. This commit adds a separate `IndefiniteLength` type as a newtype of `Option<Length>` with support for parsing indefinite lengths.
