Details:
The read_file function is a very generic name, which can cause clashes with
functions named similarly in calling applications, if linking gnutls
statically. (One concrete case was in the ffmpeg/avconv applications, where
the function has been renamed as a preparation for adding gnutls support:
http://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=commitdiff;h=02170990fdb2a05c6eaf5fd449f440ec51c0f822)
The attached patch renames this function and the other ones in gl/read-file.h,
by adding a leading underscore. Any other prefix that would be internal to
gnutls would work just as well.
