Fix massive performance issue in read_to_end

with_end_to_cap is enormously expensive now that it's initializing
memory since it involves 64k allocation + memset on every call. This is
most noticable when calling read_to_end on very small readers, where the
new version if **4 orders of magnitude** faster.

BufReader also depended on with_end_to_cap so I've rewritten it in its
original form.

As a bonus, converted the buffered IO struct Debug impls to use the
debug builders.

Fixes #23815
