Merge #4089

4089: Use a bufreader and bufwriter everytime there is a grenad<file> r=curquiza a=irevoire

# Pull Request
Wrap all the files we give to a grenad in a `BufReader` or `BufWriter`.

The dump import I tried in the issue went from 2h to 10 minutes on my machine.

I also ran a bunch of benchmarks on my machine, and we're faster by a few seconds everywhere but nothing huge.

-----

The one thing I’m afraid about is if we used to get the inner file in a grenad and then do a read right after without a seek at the beginning of the file or a reopen.
Since we now use a bufreader our read would return the bytes one buffer later and probably completely corrupt what we were supposed to read.

From what I see, it looks like it works, but I may have missed something, I don't know much about this part of the codebase.

This issue should not arise on the bufwriter, though, because if we're not able to write the content of the buffer I ensured that the `into_inner` of the bufwriter should return an internal error.

## Related issue
Fixes #4087
