Description

Current implementation uses two kinds of buffers: DataBuffer<T> and children of Buffer class. The former can use a custom memory pool for allocation, while the latter is more similar to asio::buffer. We need to converge to a single buffer design that has both of these traits.

Sub-Tasks

• Replace Buffer with DataBuffer<char> and implement a posix-style read() for InputStreams: Closed
• Implement posix-style read() for InputStreams: Closed
• Implement async_read_at(): Open
