Description
Calling `CAN1.available()` after a message has come in returns `true`. Calling then `CAN1.available()` a second time without any other calls (i.e. `CAN1.read()`) returns `false`.
### Exptected behaviour
`CAN1.available()` should return the number of frames ready to be read via `read()` without consuming or moving any data. Calling it N times without an intervening `read()` should return the same value each time.
### Environment
- Board: Portenta C33
- Library: Arduino_CAN
- Bitrate: 125 kbps
- Only tested on CAN1 interface
- Arduino Renesas Portenta Boards version: 1.5.3
- Arduino IDE version: 2.3.8

Research direction
Start by locating the Arduino_CAN library implementation of available() and read(), then reproduce the Portenta C33 case described in the issue. Check that repeated available() calls report the same number of ready frames until read() is called; done means the reported count remains stable without consuming data.
