lua+js: implement utils.file_info()
This commit introduces mp.utils.file_info() for querying information on file paths, implemented for both Lua and Javascript. The function takes a file path as an argument and returns a Lua table / JS object upon success. The table/object will contain the values: mode, size, atime, mtime, ctime and the convenience booleans is_file, is_dir. On error, the Lua side will return `nil, error` and the Javascript side will return `undefined` (and mark the last error). This feature utilizes the already existing cross-platform `mp_stat()` function.
