Fix assorted inconsistencies in our calls of readlink().

Ensure that we null-terminate the result string (one place in pg_rewind).
Be paranoid about out-of-range results from readlink() (should not happen,
but there is no good reason for some call sites to be careful about it and
others not).  Consistently use the whole buffer, not sometimes one byte
less.  Ensure we emit an appropriate errcode() in all cases.  Spell the
error messages the same way.

The only serious bug here is the missing null-termination in pg_rewind,
which is new code, so no need for a back-patch.
