flac dev - Sep 2004 - application metadata block length

It would be nice if there was an accessor function that would give you
the length of an application block's data.  As it stands, there's no way
for an application to ensure that it doesn't read past the end of the
data buffer, causing it to either segfault or get bad data.

The data length is inferred from the block length, i.e. the
size of object->data.application.data is object->length - 4
(4 is the size of the application id).
