[REQUEST] IsHidden for POSIX platforms [message #20894]

Recently I expected to find IsHidden() in FindFile class also for POSIX platforms.
I expected it to return true for all files starting with a dot:

bool IsHidden() const { return name[0] == '.'; }

I know this is once again a tiny addition, but it feels natural to me instead of missing IsHidden method.

Well, while I am not sure I agree 100% (because while in Win32, it is system defined attribute, in POSIX it is only widely used convention...), I think adding this will not hurt anything.

Applied.
