Extract the RBuffer class from rstream.c and reimplement it as a ring buffer,
a more efficient version that doesn't need to relocate memory.
The old rbuffer_read/rbuffer_write interfaces are kept for simple
reading/writing, and the RBUFFER_UNTIL_{FULL,EMPTY} macros are introduced to
hide wrapping logic when more control is required(such as passing the buffer
pointer to a library function that writes directly to the pointer)
Also add a basic infrastructure for writing helper C files that are only
compiled in the unit test library, and use this to write unit tests for RBuffer
which contains some macros that can't be accessed directly by luajit.
