Originally packets were used just for the line-oriented ref
advertisement and negotiation. These days, we also stuff
packfiles and sidebands into them, and they do not
necessarily represent a line. Drop the "_line" suffix, as it
is not informative and makes the function names quite long
(especially as we add "_gently" and other variants).

Again, this is a taste issue. Can be optional.
In combination with patch 3, this changes the meaning of packet_read()
without changing its signature, which could make other patches
cherry-picked on top change behavior in unpredictable ways. :(

So I'd be all for this if the signature changes (for example to put
the fd at the end or something), but not so if not.

Thanks,
Jonathan
