vcs-svn: make buffer_copy_bytes return length read

Currently buffer_copy_bytes does not report to its caller whether
it encountered an early end of file.

Add a return value representing the number of bytes read (but not
the number of bytes copied).  This way all three unusual conditions
can be distinguished: input error with buffer_ferror, output error
with ferror(outfile), early end of input by checking the return
value.
