Rollup merge of #49076 - bobdavelisafrank:filetype-metadata-docfix, r=bluss

Fix Issue #48345, is_file, is_dir, and is_symlink note mutual exclusion

The methods on the structures `fs::FileType` and `fs::Metadata` of (respectively) `is_file`, `is_dir`, and `is_symlink` had some ambiguity in documentation, where it was not noted whether files will pass those tests exclusively or not. It is now written that the tests are mutually exclusive.

Fixes #48345.
