fs: change position of uv_fs_lchown

Change the position of UV_LS_LCHOWN, moving it to the end in order to go
around a bug due to it's initial position.

The original position of UV_LS_LCHOWN broke ABI compat, causing a binary
using UV_FS_REALPATH or UV_FS_COPYFILE to break, as the values point to
wrong function.

core: add getter/setter functions for easier ABI compat

Add getter/setter functions for the fields of public structs that
might be relevant to e.g. Node.js addons.

Through these methods, ABI compatibility for a subset of the ABI
is easier to achieve, since using them makes code independent
of the exact offsets of these fields.

The intended use case that prompted this are N-API addons for
Node.js, which look for more long-term ABI compatibility guarantees
than typical Node code. With these helper functions, using libuv
directly should no longer be an obstacle for such addons.

win: make uv__get_osfhandle() public

The uv__get_osfhandle() function is a private functio of the
Windows subsystem, and its used to get a Windows HANDLE out
of a file descriptor number.

The motivation behind making this function public is to
allow Node.js programs to pass file descriptors created
using fs.open() to native Node.js C++ add-ons, and be able to
successfully convert them to Windows HANDLEs.
