When using overlayfs with tmpfs as the upper layer (common case), depending on
the application, a lot of whiteouts can be created. This leads to a lot of
memory allocation because new dentry and inode structs need to be allocated for
each whiteout. With this change, we at least avoid the inode allocations.
This is analogous with what Linux does. See fs/overlayfs/ovl_entry.h:ovl_fs's
field `whiteout` with comment "Shared whiteout cache".

This change introduces the nsfs file system. Each new namespace allocates
a new nsfs inode.
Here are reasons why we need these inodes:
* each namespace has to have an unique id.
* proc/pid/ns/ contains one entry for each namespace. Bind mounting one of
the files in this directory to somewhere else in the filesystem keeps the
corresponding namespace alive even if all processes currently in
the namespace terminate.
* setns() allows the calling process to join an existing namespace specified
by a file descriptor.

This does not implement accepting or enforcing any size limit, which will be
more complex and has performance implications; it just returns a fixed non-zero
size.

pipe and pipe2 aren't ported, pending a slight rework of pipe FDs for VFS2.
mount and umount2 aren't ported out of temporary laziness. access and faccessat
need additional FSImpl methods to implement properly, but are stubbed to
prevent googletest from CHECK-failing. Other syscalls require additional
plumbing.

Major differences from the current ("v1") sentry VFS:
- Path resolution is Filesystem-driven (FilesystemImpl methods call
vfs.ResolvingPath methods) rather than VFS-driven (fs package owns a
Dirent tree and calls fs.InodeOperations methods to populate it). This
drastically improves performance, primarily by reducing overhead from
inefficient synchronization and indirection. It also makes it possible
to implement remote filesystem protocols that translate FS system calls
into single RPCs, rather than having to make (at least) one RPC per path
component, significantly reducing the latency of remote filesystems
(especially during cold starts and for uncacheable shared filesystems).
- Mounts are correctly represented as a separate check based on
contextual state (current mount) rather than direct replacement in a
fs.Dirent tree. This makes it possible to support (non-recursive) bind
mounts and mount namespaces.
Included in this CL is fsimpl/memfs, an incomplete in-memory filesystem
that exists primarily to demonstrate intended filesystem implementation
patterns and for benchmarking:

From this we can infer that, on this machine:
- Constant cost for tmpfs stat() is ~160ns in VFS2 and ~280ns in VFS1.
- Per-path-component cost is ~35ns in VFS2 and ~215ns in VFS1, a
difference of about 6x.
- The cost of crossing a mount boundary is about 80ns in VFS2
(MemfsMountStat/1 does approximately the same amount of work as
MemfsStat/2, except that it also crosses a mount boundary). This is an
inescapable cost of the separate mount lookup needed to support bind
mounts and mount namespaces.

More helper structs have been added to the fsutil package to make it easier to
implement fs.InodeOperations and fs.FileOperations.

sync_file_range - sync a file segment with disk
In Linux, sync_file_range() accepts three flags:
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE
Wait upon write-out of all pages in the specified range that
have already been submitted to the device driver for write-out
before performing any write.
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE
Initiate write-out of all dirty pages in the specified range
which are not presently submitted write-out. Note that even
this may block if you attempt to write more than request queue
size.
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER
Wait upon write-out of all pages in the range after performing
any write.
In this implementation:
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE without SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER isn't
supported right now.
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WRITE is skipped. It should initiate write-out of all
dirty pages, but it doesn't wait, so it should be safe to do nothing
while nobody uses SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_BEFORE.
SYNC_FILE_RANGE_WAIT_AFTER is equal to fdatasync(). In Linux,
sync_file_range() doesn't writes out the file's meta-data, but
fdatasync() does if a file size is changed.

We accidentally set the wrong maximum. I've also added PATH_MAX and
NAME_MAX to the linux abi package.
