[PATCHv4 03/14] xread_nonblock: add functionality to read from fds without blocking

Provide a wrapper to read(), similar to xread(), that restarts on EINTR but not EAGAIN (or EWOULDBLOCK). This enables the caller to handle polling itself, possibly polling multiple sockets or performing some other action.
