Description

currently, posix.stat only provides a human-readable representation of file mode. http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/w/index.php?title=LPOSIX#stat indicates a "_mode" option for numneric mode, but this does not exist.

> a = posix.stat("/etc/")
> print(a["mode"])
rwxr-xr-x
> print(a["_mode"])
nil

Although the current format of posix.stat(f, "mode") can be used with posix.chmod, it would improve interoperability and processing to provide numeric mode.
