Continuing from previous changes, add a persistent buffer into which the message payload is decrypted, rather than allocating a new array each time.

sshnet#1752 added a persistent buffer into which to decrypt packets, rather than allocating a new array for each packet. This was on the back of sshnet#1733 which added support in the cipher types for decrypting into a given buffer, but for the case of AES-CTR, not into the same buffer in-place. sshnet#1787 adds that missing support, meaning we can now decrypt in-place, and the plaintext buffer becomes unnecessary.

With this change and #1733, #1738 (plus #1650 in 2025.1.0), allocations for the server-to-client (e.g. download) direction are significantly reduced compared to previous versions.
