Read All File Contents Into A Dynamically Allocated String | C Programming Example

How to read and store all the contents of a file into a dynamically allocated string using C. An optimized solution that only requires reading the file once is created, after first creating a suboptimal but easier to understand solution that requires reading the file twice. A simple performance test is conducted to demonstrate the improved performance of the optimized solution.
