common/jsonrpc_io: helper routines for reading JSON from sockets.

The efficient way to do this is to use membuf, which handles the buffer
control (only using memmove when necessary). We have multiple places
where we opencoded this, some of which did not use membuf at all.

So now we create common infrastructure. I tried making it a single
function but the various users are quite different, so instead I opted
for a toolbox approach.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new shared helper library for reading and parsing JSON-RPC messages from network sockets. It is purely a code-organization change: it introduces reusable routines and a unit test, but does not change any existing callers or fix any reported bug. There is no indication in the commit message or diff that this is a security patch.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal refactoring/infrastructure addition. If this is part of a larger series, review subsequent commits that actually replace duplicated socket-reading code to ensure the migration preserves behavior.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
