As far as I can tell, CoreFramework is just testing for the UF_HIDDEN flag being set in the st_flags result from lstat(). Since we already perform this check ourselves, data.isHidden() will be true for every entry for which the CF check would return true (with the previous commit's fix applying it to lstat() instead of stat()). This commit therefore saves us from performing an extra lstat() call and allocating memory for the CFString and CFURL for when the entry isn't hidden, for which CF would return false anyway.
