tools api fs: Switch filename__read_str to use io.h

filename__read_str() has its own string reading code that allocates
memory before reading into it. The memory allocated is sized at BUFSIZ
that is 8kb. Most strings are short and so most of this 8kb is wasted.

Refactor io__getline(), as io__getdelim(), so that the newline character
can be configurable and ignored in the case of filename__read_str().

Code like build_caches_for_cpu() in perf's header.c will read many strings
and hold them in a data structure, in this case multiple strings per
cache level per CPU.

Using io.h's io__getline() avoids the wasted memory as strings are
temporarily read into a buffer on the stack before being copied to a
buffer that grows 128 bytes at a time and is never sized larger than the
string.

For a 16 hyperthread system the memory consumption of "perf record
true" is reduced by 180kb, primarily through saving memory when
reading the cache information.
