Detached PKCS#7 signature

[BaurzhanSakhariev]

Will be there any parameter to generate attached or detached PKCS#7 signature? It would be very useful.

I mean something like this:

signature = createPkcs7(data, false) // get pure signature, without data
signature = createPkcs7(data,true)  // get pkcs7 signature with attached data

I haven't looked into it yet, but, naively, it does seem like it would be fairly easy to support detached signatures. We'll keep this issue open as a desirable future feature; PRs welcome.

They worked perfectly fine for me and I am guessing they will help a lot of people who are struggling.
