Tracking Issue for extending `std::fs::Permissions` on Windows

Feature gate: #![feature(windows_permissions_ext)]

This is a tracking issue for rust-lang/libs-team#388

It adds an extension trait PermissionsExt to Permissions struct for Windows to get and set file attributes.

Public API

// std::os::windows::fs::PermissionsExt;
pub trait PermissionsExt: Sealed {
    /// Returns the file attribute bits.
    fn file_attributes(&self) -> u32;

    /// Sets the file attribute bits.
    fn set_file_attributes(&mut self, mask: u32);

    /// Creates a new instance from the given file attribute bits.
    fn from_file_attributes(mask: u32) -> Self;
}
