Previously we would convert a bytebuffer to a string, pass it to libaxolotl where it would be parsed back into a bytebuffer. Ideally we would just pass the bytebuffer, but it turns out that libaxolotl's bytebyffer class is identical but separate from libtextsecure's bytebuffer class. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So instead we pass the underlying array buffer, which is handled more or less the same way as a bytebuffer, and most importantly, does not involve any copying. // FREEBIE
