Writing of transformed class files

[kylestev]

• Methods for writing general class file. Possible refactoring options include the following:
  • NodeBuffer needs a way to write bytes to a buffer
  • Clean-up ClassFile to have methods like read/write that accept a buffer and read/write to them accordingly
  • Some sort of FieldNode/FieldInfo class which can handle the writing of its data
  • Some sort of MethodNode/MethodInfo class which can handle the writing of its data (including writing of bytecode, though that can be handed off to the instruction classes themselves)
  • Some sort of AttributeNode/AttributeInfo class which can handle the writing of its data
• Specific methods for writing bytecode back to a buffer. This should be made easier by @TSedlar's inheritance model for bytecode instructions.

@TSedlar for now, just use the buffer class for writing data back to a buffer. in the future we might fork binary-parser to allow for code generated binary writers. if you feel like creating some PRs for the refactoring/implementation of (Field|Method)(Node|Info) go for it.

@TSedlar if you want to reference this issue in your commits put refs #8 inside of your commit body (not the commit header/title) as I don't expect this to be done in a single commit. I'll contribute to this issue as well if you want to get started with implementing the write method on the children of AbstractInstruction

Marking this for a future milestone. Probably v0.3.
