Expose file size, mode, etc from `pathlib.Path.info`

[barneygale]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

As a pathlib user, I desire methods that retrieve the file mode, size, access time and modify time.

We can implement these as methods of Path.info.

    def mode(self, *, follow_symlinks: bool = True) -> int: ...
    def size(self, *, follow_symlinks: bool = True) -> int: ...
    def access_time(self, *, follow_symlinks: bool = True) -> datetime: ...
    def modify_time(self, *, follow_symlinks: bool = True) -> datetime: ...

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse
