 * Reads a message from the given socket file descriptor and stores its length
 * (reply_length) as well as a pointer to its contents (reply).
 *
 * Returns -1 when read() fails, errno will remain.
 * Returns -2 on EOF.
 * Returns -3 when the IPC protocol is violated (invalid magic, unexpected
 * message type, EOF instead of a message). Additionally, the error will be
 * printed to stderr.
 * Returns 0 on success.
