14 years agogenerator: Allow individual tests to depend on daemon features.

generator: Allow individual tests to depend on daemon features.

Using IfAvailable "featurename" we allow individual tests to
only run if the feature is available in the daemon.

This will allow us to extend testing to a lot more optional
features such as NTFS.

daemon: Fix read-file so it fails gracefully for large files (RHBZ#589039).

Pengzhen Cao noticed that read-file would fail for files
larger than the protocol size; this is *not* the bug.  However
it would also lose protocol synchronization after this.

The reason was that functions which return RBufferOut in the
generator must not 'touch' the *size_r parameter along error
return paths.

I fixed read-file and initrd-cat, and I checked that pread was
doing the right thing.

This also adds regression tests for read-file with various categories
of large file.
