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.
