 * \brief This file defines reader objects, which together with their
 *        sibling writer objects form the basis for the communication
 *        between the various layers of the Mbed TLS messaging stack,
 *        as well as the communication between the messaging stack and
 *        the (D)TLS handshake protocol implementation.
 *
 * Readers provide a means of transferring incoming data from
 * a 'producer' providing it in chunks of arbitrary size, to
 * a 'consumer' which fetches and processes it in chunks of
 * again arbitrary, and potentially different, size.
 *
 * Readers can thus be seen as datagram-to-stream converters,
 * and they abstract away the following two tasks from the user:
 * 1. The pointer arithmetic of stepping through a producer-
 *    provided chunk in smaller chunks.
 * 2. The merging of incoming data chunks in case the
 *    consumer requests data in larger chunks than what the
 *    producer provides.
 *
 * The basic abstract flow of operation is the following:
 * - Initially, the reader is in 'producing mode'.
 * - The producer hands an incoming data buffer to the reader,
 *   moving it from 'producing' to 'consuming' mode.
 * - The consumer subsequently fetches and processes the buffer
 *   content. Once that's done -- or partially done and a consumer's
 *   request can't be fulfilled -- the producer revokes the reader's
 *   access to the incoming data buffer, putting the reader back to
 *   producing mode.
 * - The producer subsequently gathers more incoming data and hands
 *   it to the reader until it switches back to consuming mode
 *   if enough data is available for the last consumer request to
 *   be satisfiable.
 * - Repeat the above.
 *
 * The abstract states of the reader from the producer's and
 * consumer's perspective are as follows:
 *
 * - From the perspective of the consumer, the state of the
 *   reader consists of the following:
 *   - A byte stream representing (concatenation of) the data
 *     received through calls to mbedtls_mps_reader_get(),
 *   - A marker within that byte stream indicating which data
 *     can be considered processed, and hence need not be retained,
 *     when the reader is passed back to the producer via
 *     mbedtls_mps_reader_reclaim().
 *     The marker is set via mbedtls_mps_reader_commit()
 *     which places it at the end of the current byte stream.
 *   The consumer need not be aware of the distinction between consumer
 *   and producer mode, because it only interfaces with the reader
 *   when the latter is in consuming mode.
 *
 * - From the perspective of the producer, the reader's state is one of:
 *   - Attached: The reader is in consuming mode.
 *   - Unset: No incoming data buffer is currently managed by the reader,
 *            and all previously handed incoming data buffers have been
 *            fully processed. More data needs to be fed into the reader
 *            via mbedtls_mps_reader_feed().
 *
 *   - Accumulating: No incoming data buffer is currently managed by the
 *                   reader, but some data from the previous incoming data
 *                   buffer hasn't been processed yet and is internally
 *                   held back.
 *   The Attached state belongs to consuming mode, while the Unset and
 *   Accumulating states belong to producing mode.
 *
 * Transitioning from the Unset or Accumulating state to Attached is
 * done via successful calls to mbedtls_mps_reader_feed(), while
 * transitioning from Attached to either Unset or Accumulating (depending
 * on what has been processed) is done via mbedtls_mps_reader_reclaim().
 *
 * The following diagram depicts the producer-state progression:
 *
 *        +------------------+             reclaim
 *        |      Unset       +<-------------------------------------+       get
