CL/19862 (f79b50b8d5) recently introduced the constants
SeekStart, SeekCurrent, and SeekEnd to the io package. We should use these constants
consistently throughout the code base.
Updates #15269

The existing implementation returns nil, ErrBufferFull when n > len(b.buf),
now it will return any data in the buffer and ErrBufferFull.
Fixes#14121

Reader.Discard is the complement to Peek. It discards the next n bytes
of input.
We already have Reader.Buffered to see how many bytes of data are
sitting available in memory, and Reader.Peek to get that that buffer
directly. But once you're done with the Peek'd data, you can't get rid
of it, other than Reading it.
Both Read and io.CopyN(ioutil.Discard, bufReader, N) are relatively
slow. People instead resort to multiple blind ReadByte calls, just to
advance the internal b.r variable.
I've wanted this previously, several people have asked for it in the
past on golang-nuts/dev, and somebody just asked me for it again in a
private email. There are a few places in the standard library we'd use
it too.
