This reverts commit 1124de2
which landed in nodejs#4525

This commit has broken both npm + node-gyp

How did it break npm?

Deprecating fs.read's string interface includes `internal/util`
Currently npm's dep tree includes an old version of graceful-fs
that is monkey patching fs. As such everything explodes when
trying to require `internal/util`

nodejs#5102 is waiting for review
but has not landed. We should revert ASAP to fix master while
we decide what to do.

This is needed to give users a grace period before actually breaking
modules that re-evaluate fs sources from context where internal modules
are not allowed, e.g. older version of graceful-fs module.

To be reverted in Node.js 7.0.

Fixes nodejs#5097, see also nodejs#1898, nodejs#2026, and nodejs#4525.
