Mike O'Driscoll 1403920367 derp,types,util: use bufio Peek+Discard for allocation-free fast reads (#19067)
Replace byte-at-a-time ReadByte loops with Peek+Discard in the DERP
read path. Peek returns a slice into bufio's internal buffer without
allocating, and Discard advances the read pointer without copying.

Introduce util/bufiox with a BufferedReader interface and ReadFull
helper that uses Peek+copy+Discard as an allocation-free alternative
to io.ReadFull.

  - derp.ReadFrameHeader: replace 5× ReadByte with Peek(5)+Discard(5),
    reading the frame type and length directly from the peeked slice.
    Remove now-unused readUint32 helper.

    name                  old ns/op  new ns/op  speedup
    ReadFrameHeader-8     24.2       12.4       ~2x
    (0 allocs/op in both)

  - key.NodePublic.ReadRawWithoutAllocating: replace 32× ReadByte with
    bufiox.ReadFull. Addresses the "Dear future" comment about switching
    away from byte-at-a-time reads once a non-escaping alternative exists.

    name                              old ns/op  new ns/op  speedup
    NodeReadRawWithoutAllocating-8    140        43.6       ~3.2x
    (0 allocs/op in both)

  - derpserver.handleFramePing: replace io.ReadFull with bufiox.ReadFull.
