Jonathan Nieder 896e4bfcec vcs-svn: make buffer_read_binary API more convenient
buffer_read_binary is a thin wrapper around fread, but its signature
is wrong:

 - fread can fill an arbitrary in-memory buffer.  buffer_read_binary
   is limited to buffers whose size is representable by a 32-bit
   integer.
 - The result from fread is the number of bytes actually read.
   buffer_read_binary only reports the number of bytes read by
   incrementing sb->len by that amount and returns void.

Fix both: let buffer_read_binary accept a size_t instead of uint32_t
for the number of bytes to read and as a convenience return the number
of bytes actually read.
