prefer "!=" when checking read_in_full() result
Comparing the result of read_in_full() using less-than is potentially dangerous, as a negative return value may be converted to an unsigned type and be considered a success. This is discussed further in 561598cfcf (read_pack_header: handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result, 2017-09-13). Each of these instances is actually fine in practice: - in get-tar-commit-id, the HEADERSIZE macro expands to a signed integer. If it were switched to an unsigned type (e.g., a size_t), then it would be a bug. - the other two callers check for a short read only after handling a negative return separately. This is a fine practice, but we'd prefer to model "!=" as a general rule. So all of these cases can be considered cleanups and not actual bugfixes.
