Is there an async version of touch? #634

Exactly as the question sounds. Is there an async version of touch?

To create an empty file, you can do

await fs._pipe_file(path, b"")

I don't think any async backends support the extended use of touch to update the timestamp or truncate to a specific length; but you can probably update metadata separately (also backend-specific).
