Auto merge of #69157 - nnethercote:tweak-LEB128-reading, r=<try>

Tweak LEB128 reading some more.

PR #69050 changed LEB128 reading and writing. After it landed I did some
double-checking and found that the writing changes were universally a
speed-up, but the reading changes were not. I'm not exactly sure why,
perhaps there was a quirk of inlining in the particular revision I was
originally working from.

This commit reverts some of the reading changes, while still avoiding
`unsafe` code. I have checked it on multiple revisions and the speed-ups
seem to be robust.
