Read and write DWARF's "Little Endian Base 128" (LEB128) variable length integer
encoding.
The implementation is a direct translation of the psuedocode in the DWARF 4
standard's appendix C.

let mut buf = [0; 1024];
// Write to anything that implements `std::io::Write`.
{
let mut writable = &mut buf[..];
leb128::write::signed(&mut writable, -12345).expect("Should write number");
}
// Read from anything that implements `std::io::Read`.
let mut readable = &buf[..];
let val = leb128::read::signed(&mut readable).expect("Should read number");
assert_eq!(val, -12345);
