grpc_byte_buffer_reader_next() copies and references the slice. This
is not always necessary since the caller will not use the slice
after destroying the byte buffer.
A prominent example is the protobuf parser, which
calls grpc_byte_buffer_reader_next() and immediately unrefs the slice
after the call. This ref() and unref() calls can be very expensive
in the hot path.
This commit introduces grpc_byte_buffer_reader_peek() which
essentialy return a pointer to the slice in the buffer, i.e.,
no copies, and no refs.
QPS of 1MiB 1 Channel callback benchmark increases by 5%.
More importantly insructions per cycle is increased by 10%.
Also add tests and benchmarks for byte_buffer_reader_peek()

While compilation flag overrides for the Ruby native extension are
currently functional, specifying an alternate compiler is not, as the
Rbconfig values for key toolchain binaries are hardcoded at compile time
of the Ruby interpreter. This patch allows them to be overrridden on
the command line via standard environment variables, defaulting to the
Rbconfig values only if unspecified by the user.
