> This PR suggests that `Files.setPosixPermissions`as implemented by

> `Entry.posixPerms` field.

> The PR adds a new test `TestPosix.preserveRemainingBits()` which verifies 
> that the leading 7 bits are not affected by `Files.setPosixPermissions`. This 
> test also verifies that operations not related to POSIX, such as

> be MSDOS instead of Unix)

Eirik Bjørsnøs has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional 
commit since the last revision:

  Extract testing of the Files.setPosixFilePermissions operation and the 
Files.setLastModifiedTime operation into separate test methods.
