refactor(tvix/store): remove ChunkService r/6133
Whether chunking is involved or not, is an implementation detail of each
Blobstore. Consumers of a whole blob shouldn't need to worry about that.
It currently is not visible in the gRPC interface either. It
shouldn't bleed into everything.

Let the BlobService trait provide `open_read` and `open_write` methods,
which return handles providing io::Read or io::Write, and leave the
details up to the implementation.

This means, our custom BlobReader module can go away, and all the
chunking bits in there, too.

In the future, we might still want to add more chunking-aware syncing,
but as a syncing strategy some stores can expose, not as a fundamental
protocol component.

This currently needs "SyncReadIntoAsyncRead", taken and vendored in from
https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/5669.
It provides a AsyncRead for a sync Read, which is necessary to connect
our (sync) BlobReader interface to a GRPC server implementation.

As an alternative, we could also make the BlobReader itself async, and
let consumers of the trait (EvalIO) deal with the async-ness, but this
is less of a change for now.

In terms of vendoring, I initially tried to move our tokio crate to
these commits, but ended up in version incompatibilities, so let's
vendor it in for now.
