When saving, helix backs up the original file, then creates a new file at the original location. This means that the creation time of the file is reset to the current time. The old file metadata is copied to the new file, but this doesn't include creation date. Setting a file's creation date is only available on macOS and Windows, so this pull request adds the functionality for those platforms.
