[PATCH v3 1/2] tools api: add a lightweight buffered reading api

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to
fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered
reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up
CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.
