Title: Make the raw body string available

As far as I can tell, getting the raw body is currently impossible - using the "raw-body" module seems to return false regardless of what I do.

This puts it onto the req object should you want to use it directly instead of after parsing in cases where you need to do so (for example, HMAC checking)
