tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading api

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.

Committer tests:

  $ perf test api
  63: Test api io                                           : Ok
