read_buf_exact: on error, all read bytes are appended to the buffer

Guarantee that when `read_buf_exact` returns, all bytes read will be
appended to the buffer. Including the case when the operations fails.

The motivating use case are operations on a non-blocking reader. When
`read_buf_exact` fails with `ErrorKind::WouldBlock` error, the operation
can be resumed at a later time.
