FLOSS should extract static strings from binary data via stdin

See original GitHub issue

should be able to pipe data to FLOSS and have it extract some strings.

not sure if it should serialize a PE to a temp file and extract obfuscated strings? or just do static strings (if enabled?).

if like this:

cat ntdll.dll | floss.exe

should read from stdin

if like this:

cat ntdll.dll | floss.exe -a -

should interpret - as “please use stdin”.

ok, sounds good. lets warn the user via stderr that only static strings will be extracted.

Although it would be a cool feature, we should not worry about it for now given the complex code changes.
