7549189f88 vfs: watch support for Readonly_value_file_system
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

5ab1505d43 file system: enhanced file status info
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.

07cd0d5809 vfs: add 'Readonly_value_file_system'
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.
