stat_worker patch and suggestion

[Egor Duda]

Hi!

  Attached patch make stat functions recognize UNC paths as remote. It
speeds up fstat operations on remote drives, which are not mapped to
drive letters.

BTW, what do you think of providing porters with some sort of "lite"
versions of stat functions? Retrieving all stat information isn't
always necessary, and opening file to get it's st_ino and scanning
directory to get st_nlinks are quite time-consuming operations.
