Refactors PeWriter into components independent of Roslyn, so that it can later be moved to System.Reflection.Metadata in CoreFX.
The goal is to provide PE/COFF builder and ECMA-335 metadata builder that can be used broadly to write managed and native PE files. The goal is not to immediately provide the full support for writing all existing sections of the PE/COFF format but rather to enable composing PE/COFF files from section blobs and to provide builders for sections commonly appearing in managed PE files.
Includes implementation of a set of types, blob encoders that can be used for serialization of various blob structures found in the ECMA-335 metadata (especially signatures). The introduced abstraction provides type-system enforced structure to the blobs with minimal runtime overhead.
More work will follow to polish the public surface of the builders and serializers.
