By default, the `readableWebStream` method of `FileHandle` returns a ReadableStream that, when finished, does not close the underlying FileHandle. This can lead to issues if the stream is consumed without having a reference to the FileHandle to close after use. This commit adds an `autoClose` option to the `readableWebStream` method, which, when set to `true`, will automatically close the FileHandle when the stream is finished or canceled. The test modified in this commit demonstrates one of the cases where this is necessary in that the stream is consumed by separate code than the FileHandle which was being left to close the underlying fd when it is garbage collected, which is a deprecated behavior.

Internal Modules
The modules located in lib/internal directory are exclusively meant
for internal usage within the Node.js core. They are not intended to
be accessed via user modules require(). These modules may change at
any point in time. Relying on these internal modules outside the core
is not supported and can lead to unpredictable behavior.
In certain scenarios, accessing these internal modules for debugging or
experimental purposes might be necessary. Node.js provides the --expose-internals
flag to expose these modules to userland code. This flag only exists to
assist Node.js maintainers with debugging internals. It is not meant for
use outside the project.
