wrapper.c: add xpread() similar to xread()
It is a common mistake to call read(2)/pread(2) and forget to anticipate that they may return error with EAGAIN/EINTR when the system call is interrupted. We have xread() helper to relieve callers of read(2) from having to worry about it; add xpread() helper to do the same for pread(2). Update the caller in the builtin/index-pack.c and the mmap emulation in compat/. Signed-off-by: Yiannis Marangos <yiannis.marangos@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
