Module cap_async_std::fs

A capability-based filesystem API modeled after async_std::fs.

This corresponds to async_std::fs.

Instead of async_std::fs's free functions which operate on paths, this crate has methods on Dir which operate on paths which must be relative to the directory.

Where async_std says "the filesystem", this API says "a filesystem", as it doesn't assume that there's a single global filesystem namespace.

Since all functions which expose raw file descriptors are unsafe, I/O handles in this API are unforgeable (unsafe code notwithstanding). This combined a lack of absolute paths provides a natural capability-oriented interface.
