Major Update: (compiling but untested)

- Replace CBuffer with CRollingBuffer and CShiftBuffer
  ShiftBuffer is faster and simpler and always zero terminates
- Updated SelectableCore to use RollingBuffer
- Add Overwrite parameter to Push() and ReadFromFD() methods
- Add PeakDirect() method for fast direct access to buffer

+ *   Data rolls over to start of buffer if end of buffer reached (option to overwrite start)
+ *   Data is never shifted/moved inside buffer, only references are adjusted
