[w3c/FileAPI] Re-add FileReader.readAsBinaryString() ? (#39)

Stats in Chrome: https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/814

Hovering around 0.0008% which is low. But an HTTPArchive search turned up thousands of uses; spot-checking, it's not just one library but several different uses. The method is implemented in Edge, FF,  Chrome and Safari.

So... is it worth continuing to try and drop it from implementations, or should we just accept it as a wart on FileReader, document, and move on?

(As an aside, cribbing `text()` and `arrayBuffer()` from Body to Blob would be awesome...)
