This code change adds new methods to `DerInputStream` to easily and safely read optional fields in a ASN.1 DER-encoded value. It also adds several wrapping methods to `DerValue` to avoid unnecessary memory copying when calling by an internal method.

The new methods are applied to `OAEPParameters` to show out how they work. A new regression test is added to show that not only the new methods are simper but they are safer and more correct.
