/**
 * \brief Read chunk of input stream, and store resulting message in \p target

 * This function is called for each chunk of data from an input stream, and
 * will parse the next puzzle bus message into \p target. The input stream is
 * assumed to only contain messages encoded by \p pb_write()
 *
 * \param target  pointer to struct that will contain the finished message data
 * \param buf     pointer to input stream data chunk
 * \param buf_sz  size of \p buf
 *
 * \returns Integer representing amount of bytes required to finish message, or
 * -1 if the message header could not be read. If this function returns 0, the
 *  message in \p target is complete.
 *
 * \note target->data will automatically be allocated by this function, even if
 * the message is not fully parsed. This variable must be `free()`d by the
 * caller after each complete message to prevent memory leaks.
