doc: clarify how fs.Dirent file types are determined

The file type of a directory entry returned by fs.readdir() or
fs.opendir() is the type reported by the operating system's directory
listing. Node.js falls back to lstat() only when the reported type is
unknown, and some file systems may report a type that differs from what
lstat() would return. Document this in the fs.Dirent class introduction,
with fs.lstat() as the accurate alternative.
