library: make dynamic buffer management more efficient

When dynamic buffers were recently introduced for read
of the status, stat and statm subdirectories one extra
call to read() was required for end-of-file detection.

This patch avoids most all such extra calls to read().

Additionally, the frequency of memory reallocations is
reduced by overallocating each increase more than 25%.
