Add buffer based decoders
libcper currently supports an API that reads from a FILE* type. This
is fine for some use cases, but in the majority of use cases where we're
embedding, libcper would prefer to not be opinionated about how a file
came to be.
This patchset adds two new public methods, cper_buf_to_ir and
cper_buf_single_section_to_ir, which function like the existing non _buf
versions of these.
As a stepping stone, these are implemented as a fmemopen to get a FILE*
object to be passed to the underlying functions. This allows us in a
future commit to start removing the FILE* interfaces internally and pass
the buffer directly throughout libcper.
