PacketData should not be modified and should be treated readonly because it
represents packet payload. The old DeleteFront method allowed callers to modify
the underlying buffer which should not be allowed.
Added a way to consume from the PacketData instead of deleting from it.
Updated call points to use that instead.

It did introduce overhead, mainly at the bridge between pkg/buffer and
VectorisedView, the ExtractVV method. Once endpoints start migrating away from
VV, this overhead will be gone.

This change changes `buffer.data` into a `[]byte`, from `[bufferSize]byte`.
In exchange, each `buffer` is now grouped together to reduce the number of
allocation. Plus, `View` now holds an embeded list of `buffer` (via `pool`) to
support the happy path which the number of buffer is small. Expect no extra
allocation for the happy path.
It is to enable the use case for PacketBuffer, which
* each `View` is small (way less than `defaultBufferSize`), and
* needs to dynamically transfer ownership of `[]byte` to `View`.
(to allow gradual migration)
