fs: introduce `opendir()` and `fs.Dir`
This adds long-requested methods for asynchronously interacting and iterating through directory entries by using `uv_fs_opendir`, `uv_fs_readdir`, and `uv_fs_closedir`. `fs.opendir()` and friends return an `fs.Dir`, which contains methods for doing reads and cleanup. `fs.Dir` also has the async iterator symbol exposed. The `read()` method and friends only return `fs.Dirent`s for this API. Having a entry type or doing a `stat` call is deemed to be necessary in the majority of cases, so just returning dirents seems like the logical choice for a new api. Reading when there are no more entries returns `null` instead of a dirent. However the async iterator hides that (and does automatic cleanup). The code lives in separate files from the rest of fs, this is done partially to prevent over-pollution of those (already very large) files, but also in the case of js allows loading into `fsPromises`. Due to async_hooks, this introduces a new handle type of `DIRHANDLE`. This PR does not attempt to make complete optimization of this feature. Notable future improvements include: - Moving promise work into C++ land like FileHandle. - Possibly adding `readv()` to do multi-entry directory reads. - Aliasing `fs.readdir` to `fs.scandir` and doing a deprecation.
