Recently-introduced code in reconstruct.c was using "unsigned" to store the result of read(), pg_pread(), or write(). This is completely bogus: it breaks subsequent tests for the result being negative, as we're being reminded of by a chorus of buildfarm warnings. Switch to "int" as was doubtless intended. (There are several other uses of "unsigned" in this file that also look poorly chosen to me, but for now I'm just trying to clean up the buildfarm.) A larger problem is that "int" is not necessarily wide enough to hold the result: per POSIX, all these functions return ssize_t. In places where the requested read or write length clearly fits in int, that's academic. It may be academic anyway as long as we constrain individual data files to 1GB, since even a readv or writev-like operation would then not be responsible for transferring more than 1GB. Nonetheless it seems like trouble waiting to happen, so I made a pass over readv and writev calls and fixed the result variables where that seemed appropriate. We might want to think about changing some of the fd.c functions to return ssize_t too, for future-proofing; but I didn't tackle that here.
