In order to improve rx performance we need to reduce the amount of copies that are made. Defragmentation had 3 copies, it was reduced to 1. It could have been reduced to 0 but it would have made the PR much heavier and it would have slowed down non-fragmented data, which is still the main usecase.
There's still an uplift of 25% less time spent recopying data on a 150kB payload in our throughput test.
Now fragment payload are aliased, then recopied in the defragmentation tx_buffer with is then cheaply converted to a rx_buffer before being decoded (vs copy, copy and copy). User can take ownership of this buffer.
Added a state to allocate the buffer only when needed and to mark when it has overflown.
Fixed some UBs and memory leaks.
