bundle2: ignore errors seeking a bundle after an exception (issue4784)

Many have seen a "stream ended unexpectedly" error. This message is
raised from changegroup.readexactly() when a read(n) operation fails
to return exactly N bytes.

I believe most occurrences of this error in the wild stem from
the code changed in this patch. Before, if bundle2's part applicator
raised an Exception when processing/applying parts, the exception
handler would attempt to iterate the remaining parts. If I/O
during this iteration failed, it would likely raise the
"stream ended unexpectedly" exception.

The problem with this approach is that if we already encountered
an I/O error iterating the bundle2 data during application, then
any further I/O would almost certainly fail. If the original stream
were closed, changegroup.readexactly() would obtain an empty
string, triggering "stream ended unexpectedly" with "got 0." This is
the error message that users would see. What's worse is that the
original I/O related exception would be lost since a new exception
would be raised. This made debugging the actual I/O failure
effectively impossible.

This patch changes the exception handler for bundle2 application to
ignore errors when seeking the underlying stream. When the underlying
error is I/O related, the seek should fail fast and the original
exception will be re-raised. The output changes in
test-http-bad-server.t demonstrate this.

When the underlying error is not I/O related and the stream can be
seeked, the old behavior is preserved.
