Patrick Steinhardt 7c4c1cbc0b reftable/blocksource: adjust read_block() to return ssize_t
The `block_source_read_block()` function and its implementations return
an integer as a result that reflects either the number of bytes read, or
an error. As such its return type, a signed integer, isn't wrong, but it
doesn't give the reader a good hint what it actually returns.

Refactor the function to return an `ssize_t` instead, which is typical
for functions similar to read(3p) and should thus give readers a better
signal what they can expect as a result.

Adjust callers to better handle the returned value to avoid warnings
with -Wsign-compare. One of these callers is `reader_get_block()`, whose
return value is only ever used by its callers to figure out whether or
not the read was successful. So instead of bubbling up the `ssize_t`
there, too, we adapt it to only indicate success or errors.
