💡 What: Refactored readFileSync(path).toString() to readFileSync(path, 'utf8') in several internal CLI and configuration tools (@expo/cli, @expo/config-plugins, expo-brownfield, pod-install).

🎯 Why: When no encoding is passed, Node.js returns a raw Buffer. Calling .toString() on it subsequently requires a second allocation to create the string, leaving the buffer to be garbage collected. Providing the encoding directly instructs the C++ layer to decode and return a string directly, saving an allocation step and improving throughput on file-heavy paths (like parsing templates or gitignores).

📊 Impact: Micro-optimization. Reduces transient memory allocations during build and CLI execution steps. Functionality remains identically verified as utf8 is the default output of .toString().

🔬 Measurement: Verified with local testing across affected packages (yarn --cwd packages/[package] lint and yarn --cwd packages/[package] test). All tests pass with no regressions.

Passed 'utf8' directly to `fs.readFileSync` calls instead of creating raw Buffers and then calling `.toString()`. This avoids an unnecessary intermediate memory allocation.
