Pascal Vizeli f20f3e0525 [http_request] Fix infinite loop when server doesn't send Content-Length header
This commit fixes an issue where the http_request component would enter
an infinite loop when an HTTP server doesn't send a Content-Length header
or closes the connection prematurely.

The read loop was assuming read operations would always return data, but:
1. When the stream pointer becomes invalid (connection closed), read() returns -1
2. When no more data is available, read() returns 0

Without these checks, the loop would continue indefinitely, causing:
- "Stream pointer vanished!" errors (Arduino platform)
- CPU spinning on zero-byte reads
- Watchdog timeouts

The fix adds validation checks to break out of read loops when
read() returns <= 0 (covering both error and end-of-stream conditions).

This is applied to:
- Response capture loops (http_request.h)
- OTA firmware download loop (ota_http_request.cpp)
- MD5 verification download loop (ota_http_request.cpp)

This allows graceful handling of non-compliant HTTP servers while
maintaining compatibility with properly formatted responses.

Fixes esphome/issues#6682
