buffer_read_char can be used in place of buffer_read_string(1) to
avoid consuming valuable static buffer space. The delta applier will
use this to read variable-length integers one byte at a time.
Underneath, it is fgetc, wrapped so the line_buffer library can
maintain its role as gatekeeper of input.
Later it might be worth checking if fgetc_unlocked is faster ---
most line_buffer functions are not thread-safe anyway.
