Load a PFX from BinData

Demonstrates Pfx.LoadPfxBd, which loads a PFX / PKCS#12 container from the bytes held in a BinData object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Background. This is the in-memory equivalent of LoadPfxFile, for when the PKCS#12 data is already available as bytes rather than in a file.
