          Issue ID: 14469
           Summary: file.readText on Win64 doesn't work for files > 4GB.
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows

In DMD 2.067 this function calls read(in char[], size_t) which in turns uses
GetFileSize like this:

auto size = trustedGetFileSize(h, null);

One solution is to pass not null second parameter but it seems that it's even
better to use GetFileSizeEx
(us/library/windows/desktop/aa364957(v=vs.85).aspx).
