the sdk we're using calls it opener, I think it would be simpler to keep it as that

If these are external facing, "reader" makes more sense than "opener".

related PR: #1887
We previously set the default to an unbuffered reader for the sake of memory efficiency. This PR adds the option back in to use a buffered reader for users with ample available memory. This allows for faster dmverity hashing if needed.
Testing in a VM with a 1.5GB image, an unbuffered reader uses 1/4 the RAM but takes 3x longer for dmverity hashing (from 20s up to 1m). With a swing that large either way, it would be nice to give users the option to choose which they want for use in the confcom plugin. Thanks!
