Subject: [PATCH  v2] tpm: add support for partial reads

Currently to read a response from the TPM device an application needs
provide big enough buffer for the whole response and read it in one go.
The application doesn't know how big the response it beforehand so it
always needs to maintain a 4K buffer and read the max (4K).
In case if the user of the TSS library doesn't provide big enough
buffer the TCTI spec says that the library should set the required
size and return TSS2_TCTI_RC_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER error code so that the
application could allocate a bigger buffer and call receive again.
To make it possible in the TSS library, this requires being able to do
partial reads from the driver.
The library would read the 10 bytes header first to get the actual size
of the response from the header, and then read the rest of the response.
This patch adds support for partial reads, i.e. the user can read the
response in one or multiple reads, until the whole response is consumed.
The user can also read only part of the response and ignore
the rest by issuing a new write to send a new command.

The usecase is implemented in this TSS commit:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/commit/ce982f67a67dc08e24683d30b05800648d8a264c

Changes in v2:
 - Allow writes after only partial response is consumed to maintain
   backwords compatibility.
