target_fileio_read_stralloc: add an optional length parameter

    Extend target_fileio_read_stralloc with an optional output parameter
    that returns the number of bytes read, excluding the terminating NUL
    byte.

    Most callers only need the returned NUL-terminated buffer and can
    ignore the new parameter, but callers that need the number of bytes
    read can now obtain it without recomputing it.

    While updating the function, make a couple of minor cleanups by using
    '\0' instead of 0 for character literals and clarifying the function
    documentation.
