Subject: split: fix reporting of read errors

The bug was introduced with commit 23f6d41f, 19-02-2003.

* src/split.c (bytes_split, lines_split, line_bytes_split):
Correctly check the return from full_read().
* tests/misc/split-fail: Ensure split fails when
it can't read its input.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
