bundle2: support for bundling parameter value

Parameter can now have a value. We use a `<name>=<value>` form inspired from
capabilities.

There is still no kind of escaping in the name or value, yet.

"""Handling of the new bundle2 format

The goal of bundle2 is to act as an atomically packet to transmit a set of
payloads in an application agnostic way. It consist in a sequence of "parts"
that will be handed to and processed by the application layer.


General format architecture
===========================

The format is architectured as follow

 - magic string
 - stream level parameters
 - payload parts (any number)
 - end of stream marker.

The current implementation accept some stream level option but no part.

Details on the Binary format
============================

All numbers are unsigned and big endian.

stream level parameters
------------------------

Binary format is as follow

:params size: (16 bits integer)

  The total number of Bytes used by the parameters

:params value: arbitrary number of Bytes

  A blob of `params size` containing the serialized version of all stream level
  parameters.

  The blob contains a space separated list of parameters. parameter with value
  are stored in the form `<name>=<value>`.

  Special character in param name are not supported yet.

  Stream parameters use a simple textual format for two main reasons:

  - Stream level parameters should remains simple and we want to discourage any
    crazy usage.
  - Textual data allow easy human inspection of a the bundle2 header in case of
    troubles.

  Any Applicative level options MUST go into a bundle2 part instead.


Payload part
------------------------

Binary format is as follow

:header size: (16 bits inter)

  The total number of Bytes used by the part headers. When the header is empty
  (size = 0) this is interpreted as the end of stream marker.

  Currently forced to 0 in the current state of the implementation
