Commit Message

[FIXED] Consumer send 404 No Messages on EOS (#7466)

Requests using `NoWait` but no expiry would not receive `404 No
Messages` if the stream was empty and no messages were delivered. `408
Request Timeout` would only be returned if messages were delivered or
the request expired.

This PR fixes that by sending a `404 No Messages` for `NoWait` requests
without expiry (same response when doing a pull request on a consumer
with no pending messages) when reaching the end of the stream.
