Add using a reader for the API instead of just a constant buffer.

Is this really worth it? You would need a temporary allocator to store data for bytes objects and that will result in extra bufzilla code. I think this is fine for now. Plus in worst case, we are just storing the whole file again in memory anyways? If we really need a way to stream data because the file is way too big for memory then I think that is when you would bust out a specialized format and not use something like ZBuf anyways.

Re-opening this since it is a more practical API even if it involves substantial modification to bufzilla.
