`XFile.fromData(utf8.encode('😀')).readAsString()` hands back mojibake

The bytes branch uses `String.fromCharCodes` which just widens each byte into
its own UTF-16 code unit so anything outside ASCII comes out mangled and the
`encoding` parameter the method accepts never gets used at all. The file-backed
branch right below it passes `encoding` through fine, and web already does
`readAsBytes().then(encoding.decode)` so this is mostly just making native do
what web has been doing all along.

I made the method `async` while I was in there and that bit is deliberate
rather than cosmetic: `encoding.decode` can throw on bad input where
`fromCharCodes` never could and without `async` that would come out
synchronously instead of as a failed future, which isn't what you get from
either the web version or the `_file.readAsString` path.

fixes flutter/flutter#165120
