fs: readdir optionally returning type information

readdir and readdirSync now have a "withFileTypes" option, which, when enabled, provides an array of DirectoryEntry objects, similar to Stats objects, which have the filename and the type information.

+
+When [`fs.readdir()`][] or [`fs.readdirSync()`][] is called with the
+`withFileTypes` option set to `true`, the resulting array is filled with
+`fs.Dirent` objects, rather than strings or `Buffers`.

+Returns `true` if the `fs.Dirent` object describes a block device.

+<!-- YAML

+
+* Returns: {boolean}

+### dirent.isFile()
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* Returns: {boolean}
+
+Returns `true` if the `fs.Dirent` object describes a regular file.

+### dirent.isSocket()
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* Returns: {boolean}
+
+Returns `true` if the `fs.Dirent` object describes a socket.
+
+### dirent.isSymbolicLink()
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* Returns: {boolean}
+
+Returns `true` if the `fs.Dirent` object describes a symbolic link.

+### dirent.name
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+* {string|Buffer}
+
+The file name that this `fs.Dirent` object refers to. The type of this
