Add support for Uncompress(source, sink). Various changes to allow
Uncompress(source, sink) to get the same performance as the different
variants of Uncompress to Cord/DataBuffer/String/FlatBuffer.

Changes to efficiently support Uncompress(source, sink)
--------

a) For strings - we add support to StringByteSink to do GetAppendBuffer so we
   can write to it without copying.
b) For flat array buffers, we do GetAppendBuffer and see if we can get a full buffer.

With the above changes we get performance with ByteSource/ByteSink
that is	very close to directly using flat arrays and strings.

We add various benchmark cases to demonstrate that.

Orthogonal change
------------------

Add support for TryFastAppend() for SnappyScatteredWriter.
