io: return 0 for EOF in TLS session read after shutdown
GNUTLS takes a paranoid approach when seeing 0 bytes returned by the underlying OS read() function. It will consider this an error and return GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION instead of propagating the 0 return value. It expects apps to arrange for clean termination at the protocol level and not rely on seeing EOF from a read call to detect shutdown. This is to harden apps against a malicious 3rd party causing termination of the sockets layer. This is unhelpful for the QEMU NBD code which does have a clean protocol level shutdown, but still relies on seeing 0 from the I/O channel read in the coroutine handling incoming replies. The upshot is that when using a plain NBD connection shutdown is silent, but when using TLS, the client spams the console with Cannot read from TLS channel: Broken pipe The NBD connection has, however, called qio_channel_shutdown() at this point to indicate that it is done with I/O. This gives the opportunity to optimize the code such that when the channel has been shutdown in the read direction, the error code GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION gets turned into a '0' return instead of an error.
