util: add CBufferedFile::SkipTo() to move ahead in the stream

Description

util: add CBufferedFile::SkipTo() to move ahead in the stream

Summary:
SkipTo() reads data from the file into the CBufferedFile object
(memory), but, unlike this object's read() method, SkipTo() doesn't
transfer data into a caller's memory buffer. This is useful because
after skipping forward in the stream in this way, the user can, if
needed, rewind the stream (SetPos()) and access the object's memory
buffer including ranges that were skipped over (without needing to
read from the disk file).

This is a partial backport of core#16981
