"zero-copy" raw_decoder

A memcpy is eliminated when receiving data on a ZMQ_STREAM socket. Instead
of receiving into a static buffer and then copying the data into the
buffer malloced in msg_t::init_size, the raw_decoder allocates the memory
for together with the reference-counter and creates a msg_t object
on top of that memory. This saves the memcpy operation.

For small messages, data is still copied and the receive buffer is reused.
