Add cs_buffer. Breaking API change.

[numas13]

Remove cs_malloc() and cs_free().

cs_disasm_iter() is a tiny wrapper around cs_disasm(count=1).

• [x] I've documented or updated the documentation of every API function and struct this PR changes.
• [x] I've added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works (if possible)

Detailed description

API change unifies disassembly process. Before, there were two separate functions to disassemble one instruction at a time in a loop and many instructions into a dynamic buffer. Commit will introduce user allocatable buffer that can be used in both situations with one function.

Updating the use of cs_disasm_iter() is a little more complicated than cs_disasm():

// old api
cs_insn *insn = cs_malloc(handle);
while (cs_disasm_iter(handle, &code, &code_size, &ip, insn)) {
    disassembled_instructions += 1;
}
cs_free(insn);

Must be changed to:

// new api
cs_buffer *buffer = cs_buffer_new(1); // create buffer with 1 element
while (cs_disasm_iter(handle, &code, &code_size, &ip, buffer)) {
    cs_insn *insn = &buffer->insn[0]; // get first insn in a buffer
    disassembled_instructions += 1;
}
cs_buffer_free(buffer); // free buffer

Updating the use of cs_disasm() is straightforward, just use cs_buffer_new(0) to create a buffer and pass it to cs_disasm().

Test plan

Update bindings and user software.

Please rebase this on onto the ASAN PR from me or wait until it is merged: #2313 Just so we get extra test coverage.

There is one problem in test_arm_regression. Is it expected?

[numas13]

I've updated python bindings and review is appreciated.

please avoid breaking API

I'm closing PRs. We'll think about what can be done.
