Forward errors from `avio_read` directly. When `avio_read` sees EOF before expected bytes can be read, consistently return `AVERROR_INVALIDDATA` We used to return `AVERROR(AVERROR_INVALIDDATA)` when failing to read metadata block headers. `AVERROR_INVALIDDATA` is already negative, so wrapping in `AVERROR` leads to double-negation. We used to return `AVERROR(EIO)` when failing to read extended metadata. However, many times, the IO-layer is not at fault, the input data is simply corrupted (truncated), so we return `AVERROR_INVALIDDATA` here as well. --- Tomas: changed to use AVERROR_EOF
