This change fixes an issue identified when using wasi-threads to perform file reads. In order to maintain Rust safety guarantees in the presence of WebAssembly shared memory, which can be modified concurrently by any of the running threads, the WASI implementations of
fd_readandfd_preadwere given special code paths when shared memory is detected: in these cases, the data is first read into a host-limited buffer and then subsequently copied into linear memory. The problem was that the rather-complex logic for doing this "buffer then copy" idea for multiple IO vectors could fail due to buffer underflow. If, e.g., a read was limited by the host to 64K (or even if the read returned less than the total buffer size) theUnsafeGuestSlice::copy_from_slicelogic would fail, complaining that the sizes of both buffers were unequal.This change both simplifies and fixes the logic:
- only the first IO vector is filled; this could represent a performance penalty for threaded programs, but the "buffer then copy" idea already imposes a non-trivial overhead. This simplifies the logic, allowing us to...
- resize the shared memory buffer to the exact number of bytes read

I think in this case it's ok to do
return Ok(0)since that's really all that can happen here anyway.
