Merge branch 'sp/clip-read-write-to-8mb' into maint

Send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a smaller but still
reasonably large chunks, which would improve the latency when the
operation needs to be killed and incidentally works around broken
64-bit systems that cannot take a 2GB write or read in one go.

* sp/clip-read-write-to-8mb:
Revert "compat/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU"
xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB
