Bryan C. Mills 1d07ed1579 io/ioutil: don't cap buffer size in ReadFile
When we added a Stat call to determine the initial buffer size in
https://golang.org/cl/163069, we included an arbitrary 1e9-byte limit
"just in case". That interacts badly with power-of-2 resizing in
*bytes.Buffer: it causes buffers reading from very large files to
consume up to twice the necessary space.

The documentation for (os.FileInfo).Size says that it reports "length
in bytes for regular files; system-dependent for others", but the
"system dependent" cases overwhelmingly return either a small number
(e.g., the length of the target path for a symlink) or a non-positive
number (e.g., for a file in /proc under Linux). It should be
appropriate to use the number reported by Size as an approximate lower
bound, even if it is large.

fixes #21455
