Here is working code.  The function lsqpack_enc_dec_in() ingests
the next chunk of the encoder stream -- any number of bytes.  It
never buffers any of the bytes it reads; nor does it reparse.

https://github.com/litespeedtech/ls-qpack/blob/e5fd044d52c3a9c6b0891993e3f7ec9f3f7274cb/src/lsqpack.c#L3174

The increase in complexity -- saving state -- is offset handsomely
by not having to buffer anything inside or outside the QPACK library.
This makes the interface simple: have more encoder bytes? pass them
to the decoder.

  - Dmitri.
