Replace read_to_end() with explicit crt_fd::read() loop to preserve signal checking on EINTR.

The current code uses std::io::Read::read_to_end(), which internally retries on EINTR, preventing the outer error handler from triggering vm.check_signals(). This breaks the unbounded-read path (size < 0) signal handling.

Use a chunked read loop with crt_fd::read() instead, which surfaces EINTR to the error handler:

Replace read_to_end() with chunked crt_fd::read() loop

Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.

In `@crates/vm/src/stdlib/io.rs` at line 5339, The code currently uses
std::io::Read::read_to_end(), which hides EINTR and prevents vm.check_signals()
from running on the unbounded-read path (size < 0); replace that call with an
explicit chunked loop that uses crt_fd::read() to fill a Vec<u8> (read
fixed-size chunks, e.g., 8KiB), append each successful chunk to the buffer,
break on EOF (0 bytes), and on read errors return Err so EINTR is propagated to
the outer error handler; make sure to reference and replace the read_to_end()
call site and keep vm.check_signals() semantics by letting crt_fd::read()
surface EINTR instead of swallowing it.

Sorry, something went wrong.
