Subject: fix multiple stdio functions' behavior on zero-length operations

previously, fgets, fputs, fread, and fwrite completely omitted locking
and access to the FILE object when their arguments yielded a zero
length read or write operation independent of the FILE state. this
optimization was invalid; it wrongly skipped marking the stream as
byte-oriented (a C conformance bug) and exposed observably missing
synchronization (a POSIX conformance bug) where one of these functions
could wrongly complete despite another thread provably holding the
lock.
