Description
@tarcieri mentioned in the zulip chat that CFB8 needs something similar to #17
Currently the Encryptor and Decrytor methods are one shot and that would result in a lot of cloning

Research direction
Start by reading issue #17 and the current CFB8 Encryptor and Decryptor implementations; compare their one-shot behavior with the requested streaming approach. Confirm the affected tests or entry points in the repository, and consider the work complete when encryption and decryption can proceed incrementally without repeated cloning.
