This is mainly for developer or power-user cases, where one wants to look at
some data for investigation or debugging. In such cases, it's common for the
set of prefixes to be implicitly known (because they are baked in to the
application, for example), so printing them just produces a large amount of
redundant noise.
That said, it can also be useful programmatically, because it allows several
snippets to be written independently and ultimately concatenated (with a header
to define the prefixes) without redundancy.

More or less the same rationale as the previous commit, but for reading. This
makes for nice symmetry with writing, at the cost of a slightly more annoying
reader interface since the source doesn't know its block size or name.

This makes the paging mechanism an internal detail once again. While it's
conceptually elegant to simply have a single write interface and have the block
dumper just be another implementation of that, unfortunately it is not
practical. The inlining of serd_block_dumper_write() is a significant
performance boost, because it avoids a non-inlinable function call of overhead
per character.
Compared to the SerdByteSink approach, this removes the burden and overhead of
needing to dynamically allocate the structure itself.

Essentially replaces serd_buffer_sink_finish() with serd_buffer_close(), which
makes writing to a buffer consistent with writing to a file or anything else.

Especially with the new functionality, the complexity of the command-line
interface alone was really becoming unmanageable. The serdi implementation
also had the highest cyclomatic complexity of the entire codebase by a huge
margin.
So, take a page from the Unix philosophy and split serdi into several more
finely-honed tools that can be freely composed. Though there is still
unfortunately quite a bit of option overlap between them due to the common
details of reading RDF, I think the resulting tools are a lot easier to
understand, both from a user and a developer perspective.
