// Reader is a struct that implements the io.Reader interface.
// Read does not return when called until the context is done. It is used to avoid reading anything and returning io.EOF
// before the context has finished.
// For example the reader is used by the execution that fetches the stderr stream from Nomad. We do not have a stdin
// that we want to send to Nomad. But we still have to pass Nomad a reader.
// Normally readers send an io.EOF as soon as they have nothing more to read. But we want to avoid this, because in that
// case Nomad will abort (not the execution but) the transmission.
// Why should the reader not just always return 0, nil? Because Nomad reads in an endless loop and thus a busy waiting
// is avoided.
