Refactor the eager-header reads for readability.

This pulls the header reads into a function that works in terms of the
number of records requested.  This preserves the existing logic of
initially reading 15 records and then falling back if that fails.

In the event of a header with more than 15 records, it will read all
records, including the already-seen final 15 records.
