Check return value of buf_move_to_buf for error.

If the concatenation of connection buffer and the buffer of linked
connection exceeds INT_MAX bytes, then buf_move_to_buf returns -1 as an
error value.

This value is currently casted to size_t (variable n_read) and will
erroneously lead to an increasement of variable "max_to_read".

This in turn can be used to call connection_buf_read_from_socket to
store more data inside the buffer than expected and clogging the
connection buffer.

If the linked connection buffer was able to overflow INT_MAX, the call
of buf_move_to_buf would have previously internally triggered an integer
overflow, corrupting the state of the connection buffer.
