Bug #20416: IO#read doesn't preserve buffer encoding if `maxlen = nil`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20416#change-107858

* Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin)

* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
`IO#read(nil, buffer)` doesn't change buffer's encoding, but it does when `maxlen` parameter is specified:

```ruby
buffer = "".encode(Encoding::ISO_8859_1)

File.open("test.rb").read(1000, buffer).encoding # => #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>
File.open("test.rb").read(nil, buffer).encoding  # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
```

I would expect changing buffer encoding in all the cases.
