Adds an option to IonSystemBuilder to allow the incremental reader to be used by the DOM.
*Issue #, if available:*
#379 

*Description of changes:*

Adds an option to IonSystemBuilder to allow IonSystem to create incremental readers via `IonSystem.newReader`, `IonSystem.singleValue`, `IonLoader.load`, and `IonSystem.iterate`. This allows users of the DOM to receive some performance benefits of the new reader implementation, although these benefits are not as dramatic as when the reader is used directly since more of the time is spent materializing IonValue objects.

Here's one example:
```

Bench.run:Serialized size               log.ion      read::{f:ION_BINARY,t:FILE,a:DOM,R:INCREMENTAL}    ss    5         22.263                      MB

Bench.run:·gc.count                     log.ion      read::{f:ION_BINARY,t:FILE,a:DOM,R:INCREMENTAL}    ss    5            ≈ 0                  counts

Bench.run:Heap usage                    log.ion  read::{f:ION_BINARY,t:FILE,a:DOM,R:NON_INCREMENTAL}    ss    5        923.788 ±         1.975      MB

```

That's a 27% improvement, while using the readers directly over the same data results in a 47% improvement.

This also allows users to use the DOM incrementally using `IonLoader.load(IonReader)`, `IonSystem.iterate(InputStream)`, and `IonSystem.iterate(IonReader)`. See examples in the tests added to IonReaderBinaryIncrementalTest.
