This aims to be a substitute for the readLines function,
with the ability to re-encode the input file in a much more robust way,
and split the text into lines with stri_split_lines1
(which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
The function calls stri_read_raw,
stri_encode, and stri_split_lines1,
in this order.
Because of the way this function is currently implemented, maximal file size cannot exceed ~0.67 GB.
