Module cap_std::fs

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

This corresponds to std::fs.

Instead of 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 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.
