Return the actual transferred byte count.

The shared buffer GET path currently reports the requested size on success. When a ranged request extends past EOF, fewer bytes may be transferred, so the C ABI can report bytes that were not received. Propagate the actual count through both RDMA and HTTP fallback paths, using std::optional<int64_t> to distinguish whole-object mode instead of -1, and preserve the public offset boundary check. Add a test where offset + size exceeds the object length.

In `@src/c_api.cc` around lines 151 - 156, Update GetObjectImpl to return the
actual bytes transferred for buffer-mode GETs, propagating the count from both
RDMA and HTTP fallback paths instead of returning the requested size. Represent
whole-object mode with std::optional<int64_t> rather than -1, while preserving
the existing public offset boundary check before converting the offset.

Apply the same fix in `@src/c_api.cc` around lines 217 - 218: Covers the ranged
API's specific past-EOF reporting behavior.
