[PATCH v10 10/14] pkt-line: add functions to read/write flush terminated packet streams

[larsxschneider@gmail.com]

From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>

write_packetized_from_fd() and write_packetized_from_buf() write a
stream of packets. All content packets use the maximal packet size
except for the last one. After the last content packet a `flush` control
packet is written.

read_packetized_to_strbuf() reads arbitrary sized packets until it
detects a `flush` packet.
