Auto merge of rust-lang#130803 - cuviper:file-buffered, r=joshtriplett

Add `File` constructors that return files wrapped with a buffer

In addition to the light convenience, these are intended to raise visibility that buffering is something you should consider when opening a file, since unbuffered I/O is a common performance footgun to Rust newcomers.
