Title: Updated faster read loop code

Steaming _read_loop() has been updated.

Previously, when the stream went silent, the most recent tweet would be stuck in the read buffer and would not fire an on_status() event call until the stream went active again.

Speed should be comparable to the current implementation and much faster than older implementation of reading one byte at a time.
