Created a class in util called chunkbuffer that buffers reads from an iterator over strings (aka chunks). Also added to util (for future use) is a generator function that iterates over a file n bytes at a time. Lastly, localrepo was changed to use this new chunkbuffer class when reading changegroups form the local repository.
