When performing a base backup, check for read errors.

When performing a base backup, check for read errors.

The old code didn't differentiate between a read error and a
concurrent truncation. fread reports both of these by returning 0;
you have to use feof() or ferror() to distinguish between them,
which this code did not do.

It might be a better idea to use read() rather than fread() here,
so that we can display a less-generic error message, but I'm not
sure that would qualify as a back-patchable bug fix, so just do
this much for now.
