Lossless parser for deb822 style files

Example

use deb822_lossless::Deb822;
use std::str::FromStr;

let input = r#"Package: deb822-lossless

Package: deb822-lossless
Architecture: any
Description: Lossless parser for deb822 style files.
  This parser can be used to parse files in the deb822 format, while preserving
  all whitespace and comments. It is based on the [rowan] library, which is a
  lossless parser library for Rust.
"#;

let deb822 = Deb822::from_str(input).unwrap();
assert_eq!(deb822.paragraphs().count(), 2);

A derive-macro is also provided for easily defining more Deb822-derived types:

#[cfg(feature = "derive")]
{
use deb822_lossless::{FromDeb822, ToDeb822};

#[derive(FromDeb822, ToDeb822, Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Test {
    #[deb822(field = "Package")]
    package: String,
    architecture: Option<String>,

    #[deb822(field = "Description")]
    description: String,
}

assert_eq!(test.package, "deb822-lossless");
}
