GNUTLS takes a paranoid approach when seeing 0 bytes returned by the
underlying OS read() function. It will consider this an error and
return GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION instead of propagating the 0
return value. It expects apps to arrange for clean termination at
the protocol level and not rely on seeing EOF from a read call to
detect shutdown. This is to harden apps against a malicious 3rd party
causing termination of the sockets layer.
This is unhelpful for the QEMU NBD code which does have a clean
protocol level shutdown, but still relies on seeing 0 from the I/O
channel read in the coroutine handling incoming replies.
The upshot is that when using a plain NBD connection shutdown is
silent, but when using TLS, the client spams the console with
Cannot read from TLS channel: Broken pipe
The NBD connection has, however, called qio_channel_shutdown()
at this point to indicate that it is done with I/O. This gives
the opportunity to optimize the code such that when the channel
has been shutdown in the read direction, the error code
GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION gets turned into a '0' return
instead of an error.

A new parameter "context" is added to qio_channel_tls_handshake() is to
allow the TLS to be run on a non-default context. Still, no functional
change.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that can run the TLS protocol over
the top of another QIOChannel instance. The object provides a
simplified API to perform the handshake when starting the TLS
session. The layering of TLS over the underlying channel does
not have to be setup immediately. It is possible to take an
existing QIOChannel that has done some handshake and then swap
in the QIOChannelTLS layer. This allows for use with protocols
which start TLS right away, and those which start plain text
and then negotiate TLS.
