ssh, internal: always flush the worker's output

- wolfSSH_worker() calls wolfSSH_SendPacket() whenever
  ssh->outputBuffer holds bytes and the session is not
  disconnected, in place of doing so only for WS_SUCCESS,
  WS_WANT_READ, WS_CHAN_RXD or WS_EOF. A failed flush reaches the
  return only when the receive reported nothing. ssh->error keeps
  the receive's code when the receive failed, and the close's when
  a WS_CHANNEL_CLOSED pass hard-failed its flush. Drops the second
  DoReceive(), its WS_WINDOW_FULL case, the WOLFSSH_TEST_BLOCK
  fork, and the separate WS_CHANNEL_CLOSED flush.
- sendRet moves to the top of wolfSSH_worker(), and the
  WS_REKEYING report is skipped when the flush failed.
- SendPacketFlush() records its code in ssh->error on every
  transport failure path, and wolfSSH_SendPacket() says so and
  what a later write to that field owes it. The comments on
  _ChannelRead(), _ChannelReadExt() and
  test_ChannelReadExtHardFailureReported() drop the former
  contract.
- wolfSSH_stream_read()'s note drops the receive-succeeded
  precondition.
- tests cover the flush on an idle receive, the owed flush across
  calls, what ssh->error holds after a receive failure, a hard
  send failure, channel data alongside a failed send with and
  without a rekey, a discarded buffer, an out-of-bounds send and a
  close whose flush hard-failed, and queued output staying unsent
  on the disconnect pass.
