Review Comment:
I aligned this method with the JDK methods
[`InputStream.readNBytes()`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/io/InputStream.html#readNBytes(int)),
which performs a similar task, but is only available since JDK 11.
Our Javadoc in this method does not prevent us from making the switch:
> Gets the contents of an `InputStream` as a byte[]. Use this method instead
of `toByteArray(InputStream)` when `InputStream` size is known.
I think that with the right value for the threshold, the change might be
profitable for users, what about using `Math.max(in.available(),
DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE)` as threshold? This should guarantee that loading from
local sources will **not** double-buffer (`FileInputStream` reports the
remaining bytes in the file as “available”). What do you think?
Personally I would rather not rely on the new behavior in my projects, since
there is not guarantee users don't downgrade Commons IO to `2.20.0`, so I am
mostly interested in `toByteArray(InputStream, int, int)`, but we might
consider improving this method too.
