This patch adds support for watch notifications for the
'Readonly_value_file_system', which is often used by VFS plugins to
implement pseudo files. It thereby enables VFS clients to respond to
VFS-plugin events (think of terminal resize) dynamically.
Fixes#3523
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
This file system is meant as a building block for pseudo file systems
that host a directory of several small files where each corresponds to
an attribute of the pseudo file system.
