Tracking Issue for `path_set_times`

[joshtriplett]

Feature gate: #![feature(path_set_times)]

ACP: rust-lang/libs-team#666

This is a tracking issue for the std::fs::set_times and std::fs::set_times_nofollow functions. These functions set the timestamps of a file based on a path rather than an open file descriptor. The latter function sets the timestamps on a symlink rather than the file it links to.

Public API

// std::fs
pub fn set_times<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P, times: FileTimes) -> io::Result<()>;
pub fn set_times_nofollow<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P, times: FileTimes) -> io::Result<()>;

I'd like to take a try to implement it (my first time to implement API in libs 😅) .

I had an implementation in progress but won't complain about someone beating me to it. :)
