The previous code had handling for cases when too many file descriptors may be
opened; this is not necessary with MemoryBuffer as the file descriptors are
closed after the mapping occurs. MemoryBuffer also internally handles the case
where a file is small and therefore an mmap is bad for performance; such files
are simply copied to memory after being opened.
Many places elsewhere in the code assume that the buffer is not empty, and the
old file opening code handles this by replacing an empty file with a buffer
containing a single newline. That behavior is now kept in the new MemoryBuffer
based code.
