When performing buffered writes and the OS doesn't write all the data in one go, it probably means it isn't ready for more. We can let the application produce more data while we're waiting and then do the next
write with more buffers, instead of trying to finish the original shorter write first.

This changes Read_source_buffer to allow returning the number of bytes written. It also updates the mock output to show the individual buffers being written rather than the combined string.

Also, add Linux_eio.Low_level.writev_single to expose this behaviour directly.

This changes `Read_source_buffer` to allow returning the number of bytes

being written rather than the combined string.

CHANGES:

API changes:

- `Net.accept_sub` is deprecated in favour of `accept_fork` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#240).
  `Fiber.fork_on_accept`, which it used internally, has been removed.

- Allow short writes in `Read_source_buffer` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#239).
  The reader is no longer required to consume all the data in one go.
  Also, add `Linux_eio.Low_level.writev_single` to expose this behaviour directly.

- `Eio.Unix_perm` is now `Eio.Dir.Unix_perm`.

New features:

- Add `Eio.Mutex` (@TheLortex @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#223).

- Add `Eio.Buf_write` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#235).
  This is a buffered writer for Eio sinks, based on Faraday.

- Add `Eio_mock` library for testing (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#228).
  At the moment it has mock flows and networks.

- Add `Eio_mock.Backend` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#237 ocaml-multicore/eio#238).
  Allows running tests without needing a dependency on eio_main.
  Also, as it is single-threaded, it can detect deadlocks in test code instead of just hanging.

- Add `Buf_read.{of_buffer, of_string, parse_string{,_exn}, return}` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#225).

- Add `<*>` combinator to `Buf_read.Syntax` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#227).

- Add `Eio.Dir.read_dir` (@patricoferris @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#207 ocaml-multicore/eio#218 ocaml-multicore/eio#219)

Performance:

- Add `Buf_read` benchmark and optimise it a bit (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#230).

- Inline `Buf_read.consume` to improve performance (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#232).

Bug fixes / minor changes:

- Allow IO to happen even if a fiber keeps yielding (@TheLortex @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#213).

- Fallback for `traceln` without an effect handler (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#226).
  `traceln` now works outside of an event loop too.

- Check for cancellation when creating a non-protected child context (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#222).

- eio_linux: handle EINTR when calling `getrandom` (@bikallem ocaml-multicore/eio#212).

- Update to cmdliner.1.1.0 (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#190).
