feat(nix-compat/nar/reader): provide passthrough buffered I/O r/7035

Allow taking advantage of the buffer of the underlying reader to avoid
unnecessary copies of file data.

We can't easily implement the methods of BufRead directly, since we
have some extra I/O to perform in the final consume() invocation.

That could be resolved at the cost of additional bookkeeping, but this
will suffice for now.
