Pure incremental byte parser.

Spiritually a successor to binary's Get monad, with several changes in favor of power:

• Does not compress input internally during processing.

  Reading a LazyByteString always reuses input chunks, regardless of parser state.

• Error type is polymorphic.

  Helper parsers get to fail with errors that can be pattern matched on, and higher-level libraries are no longer restricted to only Strings.

• Properly supports incremental output.

  Higher-level libraries can properly support streaming data alongside their regular decoding functions.
