Fix File::readString to work with binary data by elipsitz · Pull Request #8742 · esp8266/Arduino

@elipsitz

Previously, File::readString used a C-style string as an intermediate
buffer via the String += operator. This treats a NUL byte as a
terminator, making this function work incorrectly if the File contains
binary data.

This commit switches the function to use String::concat, which doesn't
treat NUL bytes any differently (and is a bit faster, because it doesn't
need to use strlen).
