fix(tvix): Avoid buffering file into memory in builtins.hashFile r/7882

Right now `builtins.hashFile` always reads the entire file into memory
before hashing, which is not ideal for large files. This replaces
`read_to_string` with `open_file` which allows calculating the hash of
the file without buffering it entirely into memory. Other callers can
continue to buffer into memory if they choose, but they still use the
`open_file` VM request and then call `read_to_string` or `read_to_end`
on the `std::io::Reader`.

Fixes b/380
