Auto merge of rust-lang#85815 - YuhanLiin:buf-read-data-left, r=m-ou-se

Add has_data_left() to BufRead

This is a continuation of rust-lang#40747 and also addresses rust-lang#40745. The problem with the previous PR was that it had "eof" in its method name. This PR uses a more descriptive method name, but I'm open to changing it.
