When seeking to a new position, flush the packetlist and buffered data
to prevent already received or pending data to wrongly get used when
sftp-reading from the new offset within the file.
In the case where a read packet has been received from the server, but
the entire contents couldn't be copied to the user-buffer, the data is
instead buffered and copied to the user's buffer in the next invocation
of sftp_read(). When that "extra" copy is made, the 'offset' pointer was
not advanced accordingly.
The biggest impact of this flaw was that the 'already' variable at the
top of the function that figures out how much data "ahead" that has
already been asked for would slowly go more and more out of sync, which
could lead to the file not being read all the way to the end.
This problem was most noticable in cases where the application would
only try to read the exact file size amount, like curl does. In the
examples libssh2 provides the sftp read function is most often called
with a fixed size large buffer and then the bug would not appear as
easily.
This bug was introduced in the SFTP rewrite in 1.2.8.

Partly reverse 566894494b4972ae12 which was simplifying the code far too
much and ended up overflowing a buffer within the LIBSSH2_SESSION
struct. Back to allocating the buffer properly like it used to do.

Reported by: Alfred Gebert
A sftp session failed with error "failure establishing ssh session" on
Solaris and HP-UX. Sometimes the first recv() function call sets errno
to ENOENT. In the man pages for recv of Solaris and HP-UX the error
ENOENT is not documented.
I tested Solaris SPARC and x86, HP-UX i64, AIX, Windows and Linux.
After an error occurs in libssh2_scp_recv() or libssh2_scp_send(), the
function libssh2_session_last_error() would return
LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_NONE on error.

Someone on IRC pointed out that we don't have these documented so I
wrote up a first set based on the information in the wiki:
