storage: avoid short reads while chasing backing chain
Our backing file chain code was not very robust to an ill-timed
EINTR, which could lead to a short read causing us to randomly
treat metadata differently than usual. But the existing
virFileReadLimFD forces an error if we don't read the entire
file, even though we only care about the header of the file.
So add a new virFile function that does what we want.
* src/util/virfile.h (virFileReadHeaderFD): New prototype.
* src/util/virfile.c (virFileReadHeaderFD): New function.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export it.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileGetMetadataInternal)
(virStorageFileProbeFormatFromFD): Use it.
