new: Centralize file type stat-ing logic
This moves our logic to get a file's type into one function. This has several benefits: we can support OSes and file systems that do not provide dirent.d_type or always return DT_UNKNOWN, complex symlink-handling logic has been replaced by a simple stat fall-through in one place, and the error message for un-stat-able file is more accurate (previously, the error always mentioned directories, even though a broken symlink is not a directory).
