vim-patch:9.0.0803: readblob() cannot read from character device

Problem:    readblob() cannot read from character device.
Solution:   Use S_ISCHR() to not check the size. (Ken Takata, closes vim/vim#11407)

43625762a9

S_ISCHR is always defined in Nvim.

This can be also used to read the data from a character device
on Unix when {size} is explicitly set. Only if the device
supports seeking {offset} can be used. Otherwise it should be
zero. E.g. to read 10 bytes from a serial console: >
readblob('/dev/ttyS0', 0, 10)
< When the file can't be opened an error message is given and
the result is an empty |Blob|.
When trying to read bytes beyond the end of the file the
result is an empty blob.
