Roman Khavronenko c41a9b8d17 lib/bytesutil: smooth buffer growth rate (#6761)
Before, buffer growth was always x2 of its size, which could lead to
excessive memory usage when processing big amount of data.
For example, scraping a target with hundreds of MBs in response could
result into hih memory spikes in vmagent because buffer has to double
its size to fit the response. See
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6759

The change smoothes out the growth rate, trading higher allocation rate
for lower mem usage at certain conditions.
