Add a wrapper for utimes(2)
PR #944 added wrappers for the more-modern futimens(2) and utimesat(2), but unfortunately these APIs are not available on old-ish systems. In particular, macOS Sierra and below don't implement them, making the new APIs unusable. Whether we should care about such "old" systems is debatable, but the problem is that, at the moment, this is the only macOS version usable on Travis to test kexts and, thus, to test FUSE file systems.
