Joe Tsai c27efce66b compress/flate: make Reader.Read return io.EOF eagerly
Rather than checking the block final bit on the next invocation
of nextBlock, we check it at the termination of the current block.
This ensures that we return (n, io.EOF) instead of (0, io.EOF)
more frequently for most streams.

However, there are certain situations where an eager io.EOF is not done:
1) We previously returned from Read because the write buffer of the internal
dictionary was full, and it just so happens that there is no more data
remaining in the stream.
2) There exists a [non-final, empty, raw block] after all blocks that
actually contain uncompressed data. We cannot return io.EOF eagerly here
since it would break flushing semantics.

Both situations happen infrequently, but it is still important to note that
this change does *not* guarantee that flate will *always* return (n, io.EOF).

Furthermore, this CL makes no changes to the pattern of ReadByte calls
to the underlying io.ByteReader.

Below is the motivation for this change, pulling the text from
@bradfitz's CL/21290:

net/http and other things work better when io.Reader implementations
return (n, io.EOF) at the end, instead of (n, nil) followed by (0,
io.EOF). Both are legal, but the standard library has been moving
towards n+io.EOF.

An investigation of net/http connection re-use in
https://github.com/google/go-github/pull/317 revealed that with gzip
compression + http/1.1 chunking, the net/http package was not
automatically reusing the underlying TCP connections when the final
EOF bytes were already read off the wire. The net/http package only
reuses the connection if the underlying Readers (many of them nested
in this case) all eagerly return io.EOF.

Previous related CLs:
    https://golang.org/cl/76400046 - tls.Reader
    https://golang.org/cl/58240043 - http chunked reader

In addition to net/http, this behavior also helps things like
ioutil.ReadAll (see comments about performance improvements in
https://codereview.appspot.com/49570044)

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
