guest-file-read command is currently implemented to read from a
file handle count number of bytes. when executed with a very large count number
qemu-ga crashes.
after some digging turns out that qemu-ga crashes after trying to allocate a buffer large enough to save the data read in it, the buffer was allocated using
g_malloc0 which is not fail safe, and results a crash in case of failure.
g_malloc0 was replaced with g_try_malloc0() which returns NULL on failure,
A check was added for that case in order to prevent qemu-ga from crashing
and to send a response to the qemu-ga client accordingly.

Can you fix the equivalent problem in qga/commands-posix.c too please?

Also use "PATCH-for-5.0" in the patch subject so we don't miss it for the next release.

Thanks!

Phil.
