This commit introduces support for Netty 5's Buffer, in the form of
Netty5DataBuffer. Because of the new API offered by Buffer, several
changes have been made to the DataBuffer API:
- CloseableDataBuffer is a simpler alternative to PooledDataBuffer, and
implemented by Netty5DataBuffer. DataBufferUtils::release can now
handle CloseableDataBuffer as well as PooledDataBuffer.
- PooledDataBuffer::touch has been moved into a separate interface:
TouchableDataBuffer, which is implemented by Netty5DataBuffer.
- The capacity of DataBuffers can no longer be reduced, they can only
grow larger. As a consequence, DataBuffer::capacity(int) has been
deprecated, but ensureWritable (formally ensureCapacity) still exists.
- DataBuffer::slice and retainedSlice have been deprecated in favor of
split, a new method that ensures that memory regions do not overlap.
- DataBuffer::asByteBuffer has been deprecated in favor of toByteBuffer,
a new method that returns a copy, instead of shared data.
- DataBufferFactory::allocateBuffer has been deprecated in favor of
allocateBuffer(int).
Closes gh-28874
