Description

On TIKA-1511, I found a need to pass a Java object into a an EmbeddedDocumentExtractor. I would have sent the object into the parser via ParseContext, but EmbeddedDocumentExtractor doesn't take a ParseContext, and it makes some sense that this object should be used instead of the actual TikaInputStream.

I propose adding a payload to TikaInputStream that would only be used internally by parsers of container documents passing information to EmbeddedDocumentExtractors.

Any problems with this or alternatives?
