refactor(mime4cl): replace *-input-adapter-stream with flexi-streams r/6152
The input adapter streams were input streams yielding either binary or
character data that could be constructed from a variable data source.
The stream would take care not to destroy the underlying data
source (i.e. not close it if it was a stream), so similar to with
FILE-PORTIONs, but simpler.

Unfortunately, the implementation was quite inefficient: They are
ultimately defined in terms of a function that retrieves the next
character in the source. This only allows for an implementation of
READ-CHAR (and READ-BYTE). Thanks to cl/8559, READ-SEQUENCE can be used
on e.g. FILE-PORTION, but this was still negated by a input adapter
based on one—then, READ-SEQUENCE would need to fall back on READ-CHAR or
READ-BYTE again.

Luckily, we can replace BINARY-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM and
CHARACTER-INPUT-ADAPTER-STREAM with a much simpler abstraction: Instead
of extra stream classes, we have a function, MAKE-INPUT-ADAPTER, which
returns an appropriate instance of FLEXI-STREAM based on a given source.
This way, the need for a distinction between binary and character input
adapter is eliminated, since FLEXI-STREAMS supports both binary and
character reads (external format is not yet handled, though).
Consequently, the :binary keyword argument to MIME-BODY-STREAM can be
dropped.

flexi-streams provides stream classes for everything except a stream
that doesn't close the underlying one. Since we have already implemented
this in POSITIONED-FLEXI-INPUT-STREAM, we can split this functionality
into a new superclass ADAPTER-FLEXI-INPUT-STREAM.

This change also allows addressing the performance regression
encountered in cl/8559: It seems that flexi-streams performs worse when
we are reading byte by byte or char by char. (After this change mblog is
still two times slower than on r/6150.) By eliminating the adapter
streams, we can start utilizing READ-SEQUENCE via decoding code that
supports it (i.e. qbase64) and bring performance on par with r/6150
again. Surely there are also ways to gain back even more performance
which has to be determined using profiling. Buffering more aggressively
seems like a sure bet, though.

Switching to flexi-streams still seems like a no-brainer, as it allows
us to drop a lot of code that was quite hacky (e.g. DELIMITED-INPUT-
STREAM) and implements en/decoding handling we did not support before,
but would need for improved correctness.
