use top level fs functions where appropriate

This commit replaces many usages of `File::open` and reading or writing
with `fs::read_to_string`, `fs::read` and `fs::write`. This reduces code
complexity, and will improve performance for most reads, since the
functions allocate the buffer to be the size of the file.

I believe that this commit will not impact behavior in any way, so some
matches will check the error kind in case the file was not valid UTF-8.
Some of these cases may not actually care about the error.
