Reads an entire file into allocated memory, with good error checking.
If the call was successful, it returns true and sets contents to the file
contents and contents.length to the length of the file contents in bytes. The string stored in contents will be
nul-terminated, so for text files you can pass null for the contents.length
argument. If the call was not successful, it returns false and sets
throws. The error domain is FileError. Possible
error codes are those in the FileError enumeration. In the error case,
contents is set to null and contents.length is set to zero.
