Report errors from stream read and write operations

The php_stream_read() and php_stream_write() functions now return
an ssize_t value, with negative results indicating failure. Functions
like fread() and fwrite() will return false in that case.

As a special case, EWOULDBLOCK and EAGAIN on non-blocking streams
should not be regarded as error conditions, and be reported as
successful zero-length reads/writes instead. The handling of EINTR
remains unclear and is internally inconsistent (e.g. some code-paths
will automatically retry on EINTR, while some won't).

I'm landing this now to make sure the stream wrapper ops API changes
make it into 7.4 -- however, if the user-facing changes turn out to
be problematic we have the option of clamping negative returns to
zero in php_stream_read() and php_stream_write() to restore the
old behavior in a relatively non-intrusive manner.
