EIO is reasonable for a read some distance off the end of the store.
Reading precisely at the end should report EOF (return success with 0 bytes).
I checked in a change that should do that.

The concat and ileave stores are created automagically by store_parsed_open
code when there are multiple stores given.  So when the child stores are
all of the same type, you just do -T device hd1s1 hd2s1.  But adding open
functions makes it possible to use different types for the children, with
-T concat foo:name1 bar:name2.  So adding those others too is fine.
