build+chain: reuse buffers when reading ZMQ messages from bitcoind
`bitcoind` notifies transactions once they're accepted into the mempool
and once they're confirmed in a block. Previously, reading a message
from ZMQ would allocate a buffer with the size of the message. This can
cause nodes to perform a large number of allocations within a small
amount periodically (3000 300B allocations every 10 mins on average),
which can cause a lot of GC pressure on lower resourced nodes. To remedy
this, we introduce two static buffers, one for blocks and another for
transactions, that will be reused for every message read. Each is
constrained by its maximum expected size.
