Fix buffile.c error handling.

Convert buffile.c error handling to use ereport.  This fixes cases where
I/O errors were indistinguishable from EOF or not reported.  Also remove
"%m" from error messages where errno would be bogus.  While we're
modifying those strings, add block numbers and short read byte counts
where appropriate.

Back-patch to all supported releases.
