[bugfix] Close reader gracefully when streaming recache of remote media to fileserver api caller (#1281)

* close pipereader on failed data function

* gently slurp the bytes

* readability updates

* go fmt

* tidy up file server tests + add more cases

* start moving io wrappers to separate iotools package. Remove use of buffering while piping recache stream
