fmt::ostream - aggregate buffer instead of inheriting it (#3139)

Some MSVC-specific behavior:
When class fmt::ostream inherits detail::buffer - the last gets implicitly exported when fmt is built as a shared library.
Unless os.h is included, the compiler assumes detail::buffer is not externally exported and instantiates a local copy of it, which causes ODR violation.
With aggregation - there is no extra exporting of detail::buffer symbols.
