Make the read built-in more compatible with bash:

- Return an exit code of 142 on timeout.

- When the timeout expires before a newline is detected in the
  input bash captures the partial input.  This behaviour is new
  since bash version 4.4.  BusyBox shells had the pre-4.4 behaviour
  where the input was lost.

Update the tests to suit and fix a couple of compiler errors in
the testsuite.
