fread doesn't consistently set errno on failure.

- On OpenBSD fread sets errno on possible argument overflows, but this
  doesn't occur on other platforms. rfread doesn't set errno on EOF or
  other failures.
- ferror does not set errno on failure.

Returning errno here is possibly inconsistent. Return EIO here instead.
