9p: document short read behaviour with O_NONBLOCK
Regular files opened with O_NONBLOCK allow read to return after a single round-trip with the server instead of trying to fill buffer. Add a few lines in 9p documentation to describe that.

BEHAVIOR
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
This section aims at describing 9p 'quirks' that can be different
|
||||
from a local filesystem behaviors.
|
||||
|
||||
- Setting O_NONBLOCK on a file will make client reads return as early
|
||||
as the server returns some data instead of trying to fill the read
|
||||
buffer with the requested amount of bytes or end of file is reached.
