Revert removal of unreadCh change for performance

Turns out unreadCh is much more efficient than seek(-1, SEEK_CUR).

* Note that InputSource::unreadCh is deprecated and will be
removed in qpdf 11. Use seek(-1, SEEK_CUR) instead. This is what
it has always effectively done with some input sources and some
operating systems which don't allow unreading other than the most
recently read character. InputSource::unreadCh is no longer used
internally within libqpdf.

* Consider removing InputSource::unreadCh. Maybe we can declare it
final and delete so it will be forced to be removed from derived
classes.

The method <function>InputSource::unreadCh(unsigned
char)</function> is deprecated and will be removed in qpdf
11. It has never worked properly to pass a character to
<function>unreadCh</function> other than the most recently
read character. If you happen to be deriving a class from
<type>InputSource</type>, just implement
<function>unreadCh</function> to seek backward by one
character if the current position is greater than 0. If you
are calling this in your own code, replacing with
<literal>seek(-1, SEEK_CUR)</literal> should work in all
cases.
