CompositeByteBuf.decompose(...) does not correctly slice content. (#8403)

Motivation:

CompositeByteBuf.decompose(...) did not correctly slice the content and so produced an incorrect representation of the data.

Modifications:

- Rewrote implementation to fix bug and also improved it to reduce GC
- Add unit tests.

Result:

Fixes https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/8400.
