Add compile-time option PB_BUFFER_ONLY.

This allows slight optimizations if only memory buffer support
(as opposed to stream callbacks) is wanted. On ARM difference
is -12% execution time, -4% code size when enabled.

 The PB_MAX_REQUIRED_FIELDS, PB_FIELD_16BIT and PB_FIELD_32BIT settings allow raising some datatype limits to suit larger messages.
