Fix: clarify ERR_FS_FILE_TOO_LARGE message to reflect fs.readFile() I/O limit
The error previously suggested the issue might be due to Buffer limitations,
but in fact it's an internal constraint of fs.readFile(). Updated the
documentation to avoid confusion and guide users toward fs.createReadStream()
for large files.
