In the future, we plan on externing read_oneliner(). Future users of read_oneliner() will want the ability to output warnings in the event that the `path` doesn't exist. Introduce the `READ_ONELINER_WARN_MISSING` flag which, if active, would issue a warning when a file doesn't exist by skipping the `!file_exists()` check and letting `strbuf_read_file()` handle that case.
