OsFs not checking for permissions on Windows

[staticdev]

How to reproduce:

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/spf13/afero"
)

func main() {
	folderName := "secret"
	fsys := afero.NewOsFs()
	fsys.Mkdir(folderName, 0700)
	afero.WriteFile(fsys, "secret/filename", []byte(""), 0700)

	_, err := fsys.Stat("secret/filename")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fsys.Chmod("secret", 0000)
	_, err = fsys.Stat("secret/filename")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

You should get the error on second Stat (which is the intended behavior since the secret folder has no read permissions). It works on Linux and Mac, but not on Windows.

this might be a Go standard library issue instead of an afero one. As it simply uses the os package. It might be simply that windows does not allow for such behavior.

@jxsl13 fair enough, will close this one.
