In other words:
Based on the names of two functions "packet_read" and
"packet_read_line", it is not obvious which to use and what the
ramifications of that choice are.
Rename packet_read to packet_read_line_gently and add a comment
explaining that the latter is a "gentler" form that returns an
error instead of dying upon reading a truncated input stream.
While at it:
* Rename the internal argument triggering the gentle mode to
"gentle" instead of "return_line_fail".
* Drop the redundant "return_line_fail &&" in checks like
"if (return_line_fail && ret < 0)". safe_read() never
returns an error when !gentle.
No functional change intended.
FWIW, the patch itself is
