RFR(JDK11/NIO) 8202285: (fs) Add a method to Files for comparing file contents

[Bernd Eckenfels]

If this really stays this way and reads all bytes into memory it should at least state so, as this can easily overflow heap. Besides the Javadoc is pretty specific but fails to mention the size comparison.
