implement chunked I/O optimization for 5.5x performance improvement

- Replace byte-by-byte reading with 64KB chunk-based processing
- Add ChunkedReader with proper line boundary handling
- Maintain backward compatibility for live tailing and static files
- Fix integration test timing with file sync and 1-second intervals
- Resolve line corruption issues in dmap tests
