Add read_stream_{pause,resume}()

Read stream users can now pause lookahead when no blocks are currently
available. After resuming, subsequent read_stream_next_buffer() calls
continue lookahead with the previous lookahead distance.

This is especially useful for read stream users with self-referential
access patterns (where consuming already-read buffers can produce
additional block numbers).
