ssh: Work around 'get-bytevector-some' bug.
This works around <https://bugs.gnu.org/30066> and noticeably improves
performance when using GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://HOST (the redirect code
was transferring data to guix-daemon one byte at a time!).

* guix/ssh.scm (remote-daemon-channel)[redirect]: Define 'read!' and use
it instead of 'get-bytevector-some'.
