Description

Currently in the C library, avro_file_reader_read_value will error out when it hits the end of a file.

I propose we make it detect when it has hit the end of file, and return -1.
This means that we can differentiate between errors in opening the next block versus actually having finished the file.

I have attached the proposed changes.
