xzcat: Use BufferedFile for reading inputs

This improves the decompression time of `clang-15.0.7.src.tar.xz` from
41 seconds down to about 5 seconds.

The reason for this very significant improvement is that LZMA, the
underlying compression of XZ, fills its range decompressor one byte at a
time, causing a lot of overhead at the syscall barrier.
