pefile and LOAD_CONFIG

Following a conversation in twitter Ive noticed pefile was lacking support for parsing one data directory in the PE format that is rather interesting, the IMAGE_LOAD_CONFIG_DIRECTORY.

Ive added support for it and fixed a few small bugs and released it as pefile-1.2.10-60

Now one can access this structures fields like, for instance, pe.DIRECTORY_ENTRY_LOAD_CONFIG.struct.SecurityCookie or pe.DIRECTORY_ENTRY_LOAD_CONFIG.struct.SEHandlerTable and also modify their values and write the result to a new PE file, all the usual handling & mangling that pefile allows.
