bytereader: Use pointer instead of index access

Browse source 
Currently the scan uses Boyer-moore method and its performance is good.
but, it can be optimized from an implementation of view.

The original scan code is implemented by byte array and index-based access.
In _scan_for_start_code(), the index is increasing from start to end and the
base address of the byte array is referred to as return value.

In the case, index-based access can be replaced by pointer access, which
improve the performance by removing index-related operations.

Its performace is enhanced by approximately 8% on arm-based embedded devices.
Although it seems trivial, it can affect the overall performance because the
_scan_for_start_code() function is very often called when H.264/H.265 video is
played.

In addition, the technique can apply for all architectures and it is good in
view of readability and maintainability.
