8181493: (fs) Files.readAttributes(path, BasicFileAttributes.class) should preserve nano second time stamps

[Brian Burkhalter]

HI Christoph,

I don’t know of a programmatic way to check whether nanosecond precision is supported. Do you happen to know the file system type (and os.name property)? Right now the test has this exclusion
  53         if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().startsWith("mac") &&
  54             store.name().equalsIgnoreCase("hfs")) {
  55             System.err.println
  56                 ("HFS on macOS does not have nsec timestamps: skipping test");
  57             return;
  58         }
Thanks,

Brian
