Allow alternate HFile Reader and Writers. For Writers, we have WriterFactory so you'd think it possible to supply a different Writer but in actuality, WriterFactory is hardcoded.

Read side does something else altogether complicated by fact that Reader presumes trailer and that it has to take a Stream.

Yeah, expecting someone would provide their own Reader/Writer is a little unexpected.... but....
