Subject: [PATCH] Register file_io exercises in build config

Adds file_io1-3 (and their solutions) to dev/Cargo.toml's bin list so
'cargo dev check'/'cargo dev update' pick them up, and registers them in
rustlings-macros/info.toml with hints that explain each exercise's
learning goal and point at the relevant std API.
