g10/decrypt-data: use iobuf_read for higher performance

Description

g10/decrypt-data: use iobuf_read for higher performance

* g10/decrypt-data.c (fill_buffer): Use iobuf_read instead of iobuf_get
for reading data.

This patch reduces iobuf_read per byte processing overhead and speeds
up decryption.

Benchmark results below, tested on Intel Core i7-4790K (turbo off).
Encrypted 2 GiB through pipe to ramfs file using AES128. Decrypt
ramfs file out through pipe to /dev/null.

Note: decryption results are much slower than encryption because of
extra SHA1 & RIPEMD160 hashing.
