Non-clonable FileType

[3Hren]

Hi guys!

Is there any reasons, why FileType (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/libstd/io/mod.rs#L1740) can't be cloned?

It is the only non-clonable part of FileStat, which makes the entire struct non-clonable either.

Looks like an oversight.

Hey!
If this is confirmed as oversight, can I add Clone trait to FileType and address this issue? Or should this be addressed as part of #15294?

Go for it! #15294 isn't something that'll be fixed in one commit, it's an ongoing effort.
