* Expose raw request from client.Logical()
Not all Vault API endpoints return well-formatted JSON objects.
Sometimes, in the case of the PKI secrets engine, they're not even
printable (/pki/ca returns a binary (DER-encoded) certificate). While
this endpoint isn't authenticated, in general the API caller would
either need to use Client.RawRequestWithContext(...) directly (which
the docs advise against), or setup their own net/http client and
re-create much of Client and/or Client.Logical.
Instead, exposing the raw Request (via the new ReadRawWithData(...))
allows callers to directly consume these non-JSON endpoints like they
would nearly any other endpoint.

* Add raw formatter for direct []byte data
As mentioned in the previous commit, some API endpoints return non-JSON
data. We get as far as fetching this data (via client.Logical().Read),
but parsing it as an api.Secret fails (as in this case, it is non-JSON).
Given that we intend to update `vault read` to support such endpoints,
we'll need a "raw" formatter that accepts []byte-encoded data and simply
writes it to the UI.

* Add support for reading raw API endpoints
Some endpoints, such as `pki/ca` and `pki/ca/pem` return non-JSON
objects. When calling `vault read` on these endpoints, an error
is returned because they cannot be parsed as api.Secret instances:
> Error reading pki/ca/pem: invalid character '-' in numeric literal
Indeed, we go to all the trouble of (successfully) fetching this value,
only to be unable to Unmarshal into a Secrets value. Instead, add
support for a new -format=raw option, allowing these endpoints to be
consumed by callers of `vault read` directly.
