Add an Err field to LimitedReader that allows callers to return a custom error when the read limit is exceeded, instead of always returning EOF. When Err is set to a non-nil, non-EOF value, and the limit is reached, LimitedReader.Read probes the underlying reader with a 1-byte read to distinguish two cases: stream had exactly N bytes (returns EOF), or stream has more data (returns the custom Err). The probe result is cached using negative N values to avoid repeated reads. When Err is nil or EOF, Read returns EOF, maintaining backward compatibility. Zero-length reads return (0, nil) without side effects. Fixes golang#51115

Add an Err field to LimitedReader that allows callers to return a
custom error when the read limit is exceeded, instead of always
returning EOF.
When Err is set to a non-nil, and the limit is reached,
LimitedReader.Read probes the underlying reader with a 1-byte
read to distinguish two cases: stream had exactly N bytes
(returns EOF), or stream has more data. The probe result is cached
using negative N values to avoid repeated reads.
When Err is nil, Read returns EOF, maintaining backward compatibility.
Zero-length reads return (0, nil) without side effects when we
reached end of Reader.
