    Check return value of buf_move_to_buf for error. · 0fa95308

    If the concatenation of connection buffer and the buffer of linked
    connection exceeds INT_MAX bytes, then buf_move_to_buf returns -1 as an
    error value.
    
    This value is currently casted to size_t (variable n_read) and will
    erroneously lead to an increasement of variable "max_to_read".
    
    This in turn can be used to call connection_buf_read_from_socket to
    store more data inside the buffer than expected and clogging the
    connection buffer.
    
    If the linked connection buffer was able to overflow INT_MAX, the call
    of buf_move_to_buf would have previously internally triggered an integer
    overflow, corrupting the state of the connection buffer.
