This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1044][rfc] which adds additional surface area to the `std::fs` module. All new APIs are `#[unstable]` behind assorted feature names for each one. [rfc]: rust-lang/rfcs#1044 The new APIs added are: * `fs::canonicalize` - bindings to `realpath` on unix and `GetFinalPathNameByHandle` on windows. * `fs::symlink_metadata` - similar to `lstat` on unix * `fs::FileType` and accessor methods as `is_{file,dir,symlink}` * `fs::Metadata::file_type` - accessor for the raw file type * `fs::DirEntry::metadata` - acquisition of metadata which is free on Windows but requires a syscall on unix. * `fs::DirEntry::file_type` - access the file type which may not require a syscall on most platforms. * `fs::DirEntry::file_name` - access just the file name without leading components. * `fs::PathExt::symlink_metadata` - convenience method for the top-level function. * `fs::PathExt::canonicalize` - convenience method for the top-level function. * `fs::PathExt::read_link` - convenience method for the top-level function. * `fs::PathExt::read_dir` - convenience method for the top-level function. * `std::os::raw` - type definitions for raw OS/C types available on all platforms. * `std::os::$platform` - new modules have been added for all currently supported platforms (e.g. those more specific than just `unix`). * `std::os::$platform::raw` - platform-specific type definitions. These modules are populated with the bare essentials necessary for lowing I/O types into their raw representations, and currently largely consist of the `stat` definition for unix platforms. This commit also deprecates `Metadata::{modified, accessed}` in favor of inspecting the raw representations via the lowering methods of `Metadata`. Closes #24796
