safe{read,write}: Document usage with nonblocking FD

Currently, whenever somebody calls saferead() on nonblocking FD
(safewrite() is totally interchangeable for purpose of this message)
he might get wrong return value. For instance, in the first iteration
some data is read. The number of bytes read is stored into local
variable 'nread'. However, in next iterations we can get -1 from
read() with errno == EAGAIN, in which case the -1 is returned despite
fact some data has already been read. So the caller gets confused.
Bare read() should be used for nonblocking FD.
