Add the readrom binary
The readrom binary is similar to `readelf` from Linux and it will allow to display information from an NES/Famicom ROM file. For now the information being shown is just the header, but in the future we might also include disassembling parts of the code, or retrieving the "CHARS" section for a given ROM file, and similar. In order to implement the header parsing part a new library has been introduced, simply named "header" which abstracts everything away so you just need to call `Header::try_from("my bytes")` to fetch the actual information.

+## `readrom`
+
+The `readrom` reads a given ROM file and shows all the information that can be
+gathered from it. For now this only applies to information on the header, but in
+the future we might want to add disassembling user-specified segments, for
+example.
