Alex Ameen 62a43a742d primop: add readFileType, optimize readDir
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.

This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.

Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.

(cherry picked from commit 153ee460c5)
