Description
Hello,
I am in the process to refactoring some code by replacing usage of File and FileUtils with Pathnames and I was surprised to discover that Pathname#touch does not exist.
Would a pull request for such a method be considered?
Definition of Done
Simple usecase
path = Pathname.new('file.txt')
path.touch
# Would be strictly equivalent to:
FileUtils.touch('file.txt')
With all the optional arguments
path = Pathname.new('file.txt')
time = Time.now - 3600
path.touch(mtime: time, nocreate: true, noop: true, verbose: true)
# Would be strictly equivalent to:
FileUtils.touch('file.txt', mtime: time, nocreate: true, noop: true, verbose: true)

Research direction
Start at the Pathname API entry point for adding a touch method, then compare its arguments with FileUtils.touch. Done means Pathname#touch supports the simple call and the listed mtime, nocreate, noop, and verbose options with equivalent behavior.
