Read all text from stdin to a string

My boiler-plate for this one is a lot like the solution described in a comment above — offering it at the top level because it’s very much the simplest way to do this and it shouldn’t be only in a comment.

var fs = require('fs');
var data = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf-8');
// Data now points to a buffer containing the file's contents
