Calling SSLObject.read(SSL_READ_MAX_SIZE) has a big performance issue. Internally it first allocates bytes object of SSL_READ_MAX_SIZE bytes, then reads into it, then shrinks it down to the actual number of bytes read.
Given that SSL_READ_MAX_SIZE = 256 * 1024,
we allocate 256K every time we call SSLObject.read from SSLProtocol._do_read__copied.
I've fixed it by allocating our own buffer and passing it to SSLObject.read.

I have attached perf output before and after this change.

Other changes:

• fix cython warning: uvloop/handles/pipe.pyx:159:4: Overriding a c(p)def method with a def method
• Use bytearray instead of raw memory allocations for the buffer that is provided to UVStream for simplicity
• Reduce default size of read buffer from 256K to 64K. 64K is actually a default suggested size from libuv. Read buffer can still grow up to 256K if libuv wants more memory.
• Cache _app_protocol.data_received for performance
• Cache SSL_READ_MAX_SIZE as a python object, so that cython don't have to create a new object every time we call SSLObject.read.
• It is ok to call SSLObject.read and pass a buffer that is smaller than the len argument. SSLObject.read will correctly read up to the buffer size, not up to len argument
