feat: add utimes and lutimes

[jcubic]

add:

• fs.utimes
• fs.lutimes

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added utimes and lutimes to callback-based and promise-based APIs for updating file access and modification times. utimes updates the target of a symlink, while lutimes updates the symlink itself.
  • Accepts Date values, numeric seconds, and numeric strings, including fractional and negative timestamps.
  • File stats now include access time in milliseconds.
• Bug Fixes
  • Access times of zero are now preserved in file stats instead of being replaced by the modification time.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds callback and promise APIs for setting access and modification times. It converts supported timestamp inputs to milliseconds and distinguishes operations that follow symlinks from those that update the symlink itself.

Changes

File timestamp APIs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
API surface and timestamp conversion README.md, index.d.ts, src/PromisifiedFS.js, src/index.js	The public API adds utimes and lutimes methods and the FS.TimeLike type. PromisifiedFS converts Date, number, and numeric-string inputs from seconds to milliseconds and rejects invalid or non-finite values. The callback API delegates to the promise methods.
Backend timestamp updates and validation src/CacheFS.js, src/DefaultBackend.js, src/Stat.js, src/__tests__/*	DefaultBackend delegates to CacheFS, which updates access, modification, and change times. utimes follows symlinks; lutimes updates the symlink itself. Stat preserves an explicit zero timestamp. Tests cover input conversion, symlink behavior, missing paths, invalid values, and negative times.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f5301

The timestamp APIs provide the documented conversion and symlink behavior, and updates persist through the standard backend. No concrete merge risk remains.
