Now that we've added a os.File.ReadFrom method, io.CopyBuffer to a
os.File will no longer use the provided buffer.

handled transparently.

<p><!-- CL 229101 -->
The <a href="/pkg/os/#File"><code>os.File</code></a> type now
supports a <a href="/pkg/os/#File.ReadFrom"><code>ReadFrom</code></a>
method. This permits the use of the <code>copy_file_range</code>
system call on some systems when using
<a href="/pkg/io/#Copy"><code>io.Copy</code></a> to copy data
from one <code>os.File</code> to another. A consequence is that
<a href="/pkg/io/#CopyBuffer"><code>io.CopyBuffer</code></a>
will not always use the provided buffer when copying to a
<code>os.File</code>. If a program wants to force the use of
the provided buffer, it can be done by writing
<code>io.CopyBuffer(struct{ io.Writer }{dst}, src, buf)</code>.
