lib: Allow partial read
This implements partial read of packets if the buffer supplied to
flow_read() is smaller than the packet in the buffer. If the number of
bytes returned by flow_read equals the size of the buffer, the next
read() will deliver the next bytes of the packet (or 0 if the packet
was exactly the size of the buffer on the previous read).
Implements #7.
