I can't answer this question (not being a Linux dev and not knowing
much about this), but I'm +1 for adding DirEntry.inode().

On Windows, we're exposing all the information FindFirst/FindNext give
us, but on Linux we expose everything useful from readdir except
d_ino, which is easy to add, and according to that reddit comment, may
make scandir useful in more real scenarios.
