In issue39681 we reestablished the fallback to read() when a file-like object doesn't provide readinto() in _pickle.c.  However, doing so leads to lower performance and all file-like object should nowadays provide readinto() (simply by deriving from the right base class - e.g. io.BufferedIOBase).

I propose to issue a DeprecationWarning when the fallback behaviour is selected, so that one day we can finally remove it.
