Title: Implement reading the variable-length parts of the record header

Hi,

Please pull changes related to reading the variable-length parts of the record header. Now, it is possible to skip over NULL fields and read variable-length fields such as VARCHAR. A summary of the changes follows:

- Use BinData to read big-endian integers.
- Introduce a new Field class to hold properties of and read fields.
- Read the bitmap used for indicating NULL fields.
- Read the length of variable-length fields.

Regards,

Davi
