    Simplify the code for logical tape read buffers. · b75f467b
    Heikki Linnakangas authored
    Pass the buffer size as argument to LogicalTapeRewindForRead, rather than
    setting it earlier with the separate LogicTapeAssignReadBufferSize call.
    This way, the buffer size is set closer to where it's actually used, which
    makes the code easier to understand.
    
    This makes the calculation for how much memory to use for the buffers less
    precise. We now use the same amount of memory for every tape, rounded down
    to the nearest BLCKSZ boundary, instead of using one more block for some
    tapes, to get the total up to exact amount of memory available. That should
    be OK, merging isn't too sensitive to the exact amount of memory used.
