Peter Collingbourne 0dfdb44797 Support: Have directory_iterator::status() return FindFirstFileEx/FindNextFile results on Windows.
This allows clients to avoid an unnecessary fs::status() call on each
directory entry. Because the information returned by FindFirstFileEx
is a subset of the information returned by a regular status() call,
I needed to extract a base class from file_status that contains only
that information.

On my machine, this reduces the time required to enumerate a ThinLTO
cache directory containing 520k files from almost 4 minutes to less
than 2 seconds.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
