Replace call to `stat`, `lstat`, and `maybeLstat` with appropriate functions from `std::filesystem` #10937

Motivation

The cpp std::filesystem has functions that we can use in place of stat and lstat. This makes the code more portable between windows and unix.

Some places where it required windows native implementation are still using unix::lstat (the old lstat just moved inside the new unix namespace). Alternative windows implementation needs to be written to tackle these situations.
