more ways of getting files #49757

What is the problem this feature will solve?

it's kind of a #developer-pain that

1. there are no sync version of fs.openAsBlob (aka: fs.openAsBlobSync)
2. they are a Blob instead of Files and therefore lacks a file name and lastModified. So upgrading them to a File requires figuring out more stuff yourself.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

That we add:

• fs.openAsFile
• fs.openAsFileSync
• fs.openAsBlobSync (fs: fix fs.openAsBlob, add fs.openAsBlobSync and fsPromises.openAsBlob #49759)

What alternatives have you considered?

Only workaround today is to do:

const name = path.basename(filePath)
const stat = fs.statSync(filePath)
const blob = await fs.openAsBlob(filePath)
const file = new File([blob], name, { 
  type: blob.type,
  lastModified: Number(stat.mtime)
 })

would be a heck a lot easier if i could just do:

const file = fs.openAsFileSync(filePath)

and there is no way of getting around it cuz the async openAsBlob is the only thing you can work with. which makes your own code having to be async as well.
