1660843 - Add file creation time to the FileInfo struct returned by IOUtils::stat

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: OS.File, defect)

Description

[Keefer Rourke]

Like OS.File.stat, IOUtils.stat should support querying the file creation time on supported platforms.

Support for file creation time varies by platform, so in the existing FileInfo dictionary, we should add a nullable creationTime field, which will have a value on Windows and macOS, but be null on Linux where creation time can't currently be supported.

Support for this in IOUtils will rely on nsLocalFile exposing a method to query the file creation time.
