Rewrite the English FileReadTool docs in simpler technical English
and bring them in line with current tool behavior.

The old page showed direct run() calls even though tools are
invoked by LLMs through agents, used pip install instead of
uv add, and omitted details such as relative path resolution
against base_dir and the fact that base_dir is pinned at
construction.

Synced the same updates to ar, ko, and pt-BR.

Rewrite the English FileReadTool page in clearer, shorter technical English while keeping the same API coverage and security guidance.

Document relative path resolution, pinned base_dir, error-string failures,
line-window early stop, and clearer usage examples that match the implementation.

Tools are invoked by LLMs at runtime, so examples only cover how to create the tool.

Wording now only covers adding the tools extra.

CrewAI is assumed to already be installed, so the install steps are unnecessary.

In `@docs/edge/en/tools/file-document/filereadtool.mdx`:
- Around line 55-56: Update the constructor `file_path` bullet in the
FileReadTool documentation to state that a relative path resolves against
`base_dir` when `base_dir` is provided, rather than the current working
directory.
- Line 3: Synchronize the `FileReadTool` documentation change across the `ar`,
`ko`, and `pt-BR` locale counterparts, following the workflow and formatting
requirements in `DOCS_TRANSLATIONS.md`, so each translated guide reflects the
updated English behavior.
- Line 49: Update the file_path description to clarify that absolute and
relative paths are valid only when they resolve within the configured base_dir
sandbox; preserve the existing current-working-directory behavior when base_dir
is unset.

A relative default path anchors to base_dir when set, not the cwd.

Absolute and relative paths are valid only when they resolve inside
base_dir, which defaults to the current working directory.
