  Read record from datafile.

  SYNOPSIS
    _ma_read_dynamic_record()
      info                      MARIA_HA pointer to table.
      filepos                   From where to read the record.
      buf                       Destination for record.

  NOTE
    If a write buffer is active, it needs to be flushed if its contents
    intersects with the record to read. We always check if the position
    of the first byte of the write buffer is lower than the position
    past the last byte to read. In theory this is also true if the write
    buffer is completely below the read segment. That is, if there is no
    intersection. But this case is unusual. We flush anyway. Only if the
    first byte in the write buffer is above the last byte to read, we do
    not flush.

    A dynamic record may need several reads. So this check must be done
    before every read. Reading a dynamic record starts with reading the
    block header. If the record does not fit into the free space of the
    header, the block may be longer than the header. In this case a
    second read is necessary. These one or two reads repeat for every
    part of the record.
