fsp_srv: Remove unnecessary std::vector construction in IDirectory's Read() function

We were using a second std::vector as a buffer to convert another
std::vector's data into a byte sequence, however we can just use
pointers to the original data and use them directly with WriteBuffer,
which avoids copying the data at all into a separate std::vector.

We simply cast the pointers to u8* (which is allowed by the standard,
given std::uint8_t is an alias for unsigned char on platforms that we
support).
