platform/chrome: straighten out cros_ec_get_{next,host}_event() error codes

cros_ec_get_next_event() is documented to return 0 for success and
negative for errors. It currently returns negative for some errors, and
non-negative (number of bytes received) for success (including some "no
data available" responses as zero). This mostly works out OK, because the
callers were more or less ignoring the documentation, and only treating
positive values as success (and indepdently checking the modification of
'wakeup').

Let's button this up by avoiding pretending to handle event/wakeup
distinctions when no event info was retrieved (i.e., returned 0 bytes).
And fix the documentation of cros_ec_get_host_event() and
cros_ec_get_next_event() to accurately describe their behavior.
