IncompleteReadError has two additionnal attributes:

- partial: "incomplete" received bytes
- expected: total number of expected bytes (n parameter of readexactly)

I prefer to use a different exception to ensure that these attributes
are present. I don't like having to check "hasattr(exc, ...)".

Before this change, readexactly(n) returned the partial received bytes
if the end of the stream was reached.
