MDAnalysis DCD seek failed Normal EOF OSError issue 2.8.0

Older notes for MDAnalysis__mdanalysis-5086 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

MDAnalysis 2.8.0 DCD reading can raise OSError: DCD seek failed with Normal EOF at the end of a trajectory.

Treat the Normal EOF DCD seek/read condition as clean end-of-trajectory instead of surfacing it as an OSError.

The issue is in low-level DCD trajectory reading, so the fix should distinguish genuine file corruption from expected EOF.
