Read-file-characters

Read an entire file into a character-listp.

Signature
(read-file-characters filename state) 
  → 
(mv errmsg/contents state)
Arguments
filename — Guard (stringp filename).
Returns
errmsg/contents — On success: a character-listp that contains all the characters in the file. On failure, e.g., perhaps filename does not exist, a stringp saying that we failed to open the file.
