Allow user to specify a function to run on the parsed output. This function gets the req and res as does the normal parsing middlewares but operates on the parsed data.

This patch is only a sketch to illustrate my idea, I haven't implemented tests or anything, but wanted to see if such a feature is of interest to the project. I would also add this functionality to the other parsed body types if the patch is acceptable.

My specific use case is that i want to use bodyparser with json-schema. I wanted to use the verify function option, but in order to do that I would need to reparse the json. I could also wrap the bodyparser middleware in my own middleware, but this is more complicated than adding for example verifyParsed: (rq,rs,b) => {validate(b)} to the bodyparser middleware.
