[FLUME-2074] ResettableInputStream returns Signed Data when parsing binary stream

Description

ResettableInputStream returns signed values( -128 - 127 ) when reading data, specifically -1 when file stream contains 0xFF rather than unsigned data (0-255) and negative control signals. This causes a premature EOF to be detected by deserializers written to obey defined control signals.

ResettableInputStream.read() returns an integer and should be returning the unsigned value of the byte (0 - 255) with -1 as en EOF rather than the signed value of (-128 - 127).
