Add four new file system checking functions: Stat.isFile and Stat.isDirectory for querying entry type from a Stat object, and File.exists and Directory.exists static methods that return booleans by attempting to stat the path and checking the appropriate type. Also bump MAX_METHODS_PER_CLASS from 12 to 14 to accommodate the new Stat foreign methods, and clean up unused Scheduler imports in existing stat tests.
