short i/o: fix calls to read to use xread or read_in_full

We have a number of badly checked read() calls.  Often we are
expecting read() to read exactly the size we requested or fail, this
fails to handle interrupts or short reads.  Add a read_in_full()
providing those semantics.  Otherwise we at a minimum need to check
for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xread().
