io: Add new qio_channel_read{, v}_all_eof functions
Some callers want to distinguish between clean EOF (no bytes read) vs. a short read (at least one byte read, but EOF encountered before reaching the desired length), as it allows clients the ability to do a graceful shutdown when a server shuts down at defined safe points in the protocol, rather than treating all shutdown scenarios as an error due to EOF. However, we don't want to require all callers to have to check for early EOF. So add another wrapper function that can be used by the callers that care about the distinction.
