Title: Add `stat` method to `std::io::fs::File` to stat without a Path.

The `FileStat` struct contained a `path` field, which was filled by the
`stat` and `lstat` function. Since this field isn't in fact returned by
the operating system (it was copied from the paths passed to the
functions) it was removed, as in the `fstat` case we aren't working with
a `Path`, but directly with a fd.

If your code used the `path` field of `FileStat` you will now have to
manually store the path passed to `stat` along with the returned struct.
