stat method

Future<FileStat> stat(String path)

Asynchronously calls the operating system's stat() function on path. Returns a Future which completes with a FileStat object containing the data returned by stat(). If the call fails, completes the future with a FileStat object with .type set to FileSystemEntityType.NOT_FOUND and the other fields invalid.
