reftable/stack: refactor reloading to use file descriptor

We're about to introduce a stat(3P)-based caching mechanism to reload the list of stacks only when it has changed. In order to avoid race conditions this requires us to have a file descriptor available that we can use to call fstat(3P) on. Prepare for this by converting the code to use `fd_read_lines()` so that we have the file descriptor readily available.
