This change adds support for functions to set and get file permissions, in a similar manner to the C++17 permissions() function in <filesystem>. The setter uses chmod on Unix systems and SetFileAttributes on Windows, setting the permissions as passed in. The getter simply uses the existing status() function. Prior to this change, status() would always return an unknown value for the permissions on a Windows file, making it impossible to test the new function on Windows. I have therefore added support for this as well. On Linux, prior to this change, the permissions included the file type, which should actually be accessed via a different member of the file_status class. Note that on Windows, only the *_write permission bits have any affect - if any are set, the file is writable, and if not, the file is read-only. This is in common with what MSDN describes for their behaviour of std::filesystem::permissions(), and also what boost::filesystem does. The motivation behind this change is so that we can easily test behaviour on read-only files in LLVM unit tests, but I am sure that others may find it useful in some situations.

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.
