Add regression test for decode_from_read_unbuffered_with bug

The bug in decode_from_read_unbuffered_with is finicky and can only
be triggered in very particular cases. To ensure it is not
reintroduced, a test case should be included.

Introduce regression test for io::decode_from_read_unbuffered_with.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new regression test for an already-fixed bug in a Rust Bitcoin IO decoding function. It does not change any production code, so by itself it cannot introduce or fix a security vulnerability. The test documents a subtle edge case where a decoder consumes input one byte at a time.

Recommended action

No action required for this commit alone. If auditing the related bug, locate the prior commit that fixed decode_from_read_unbuffered_with and review its diff for security relevance.
