iosource/pcap: Support configurable buffer size
On Linux with a default ext4 or tmpfs filesystem, the default buffer size for reading a pcap is chosen as 4k (strace/gdb validated). When reading large pcaps containing raw data transfers, the syscall overhead for read becomes visible in profiles. Support configurability of the buffer size and default to 128kb. When processing a ~830M PCAP (16 UDP connections, each transferring ~50MB) in bare mode, this change improves runtime from 1.39 sec to 1.29 sec. Increasing the buffer further didn't provide a noticeable boost.
