[issue14127] add st_*time_ns fileds to os.stat(), add ns keyword to os.*utime*(), os.*utimens*() expects a number of nanoseconds

> I don't want to remove os.futimens() and os.utimensat() because they add a feature: UTIME_NOW and UTIME_OMIT flags.

I'm not sure how this could work: UTIME_NOW and UTIME_OMIT have 
typically values such as ((1l << 30) - 2l) which could be mistaken
as a time stamp if there is a flat nanosecond value.

There would be ways to solve this, of course: not passing the
value should be considered as UTIME_OMIT, and passing -1 may
be treated as UTIME_NOW.
