Subject: [PATCH] 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.
