Description

The signature of reading all bytes had changed:
https://github.com/whatwg/streams/pull/1250

It now accepts successSteps and failureSteps instead of returning a Promise, in an attempt to decouple streams from JS when appropriate.

Start in the File API specification by locating its use of the Streams “reading all bytes” function, then compare that invocation with the linked Streams change. Update the specification to use the new successSteps and failureSteps signature, and verify that no promise-based wording remains for this function.
