Add `stat()` method to `pathlib.Path.info` that returns a (possibly cached) `os.stat_result` object. We don't add it to `pathlib.types.PathInfo` because it's too specific to local filesystem paths. This requires a bit of reworking of the docs to explain! Rename `pathlib._Info` to `pathlib.Info` and document it, including the new `stat()` method. Ensure it can't be instantiated by users. Move the existing docs for `pathlib.types` to a new page.
