Why do we need to carve out a Base class in this case?  Since there aren't any
methods here, it seems reasonable to just give SharedMemorySeqLockBuffer<T> a
OneWriterSeqLock member.

It seems like the Gamepad buffer class could be trivially changed to be a
specialization of SharedMemorySeqLockBuffer<T>.  Why not just do that as part of
this CL?

ok, I've removed this base class and added an extra lock-parameter to
SharedMemorySeqLockReaderBase::FetchFromBuffer to keep it generic.

Regarding Gamepad I think this is best done in a separate CL. Gamepad buffer
uses "buffer" as a name for "data", so some renaming will need to happen
touching multiple files (thinking about fetchers and test files), which will
'pollute' this CL.
