We now always write the "optional" streaming data descriptor
signature, which turns out to be required for OS X.
Also, handle reading the data descriptor with or without the
signature, per the spec's recommendation. Fix data descriptor
reading bugs found in the process.
Fixes#3252

Zip files may actually store symlinks, and that's represented
as a file with unix flag S_IFLNK and with its data containing
the symlink target name.
The other flags are being supported too. Now that the os package
has the full range of flags in a system agnostic manner, there's
no reason to discard that information.

This reduces the overhead necessary to work with OS-specific
file details, hides the implementation of FileStat, and
preserves the implementation-specific nature of Sys.
Expressions such as:
stat.(*os.FileInfo).Sys.(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
fi1.(*os.FileStat).SameFile(fi2.(*os.FileStat))
Are now spelled as::
stat.Sys().(*syscall.Stat_t).Uid
os.SameFile(fi1, fi2)
