(Node.js) Extract XML File from a .p7m (e.g. FATTURA ELETTRONICA, ITALY)

Node.js example to extract the original file from a .p7m (Signed-Data PKCS7 Format) The .p7m contains the signed contents of the original file.

One use for this example is to extract the XML file from a Fattura Elettronica .p7m signature.
