auto merge of #16513 : sfackler/rust/io-util-cleanup, r=alexcrichton

* Fix `LimitReader`'s `Buffer::consume` impl to avoid limit underflow
* Make `MultiWriter` fail fast instead of always running through each
    `Writer`. This may or may not be what we want, but it at least
    doesn't throw any errors encountered in later `Writer`s into oblivion.
* Prevent `IterReader`'s `Reader::read` impl from returning EOF if given
    an empty buffer.
