This means File.chmod, File.lchmod, File.chown, File.lchown,
File.unlink, and File.utime operations on slow filesystems
no longer hold up other threads.
The platform-specific utime_failed changes is compile-tested
using a new UTIME_EINVAL macro
This hurts performance on fast filesystem, but these methods
are unlikely to be performance bottlenecks and (IMHO) avoiding
pathological slowdowns and stalls are more important.
