This will be handy for platforms which need to be able to store extra
OS-specific members. For example, macOS needs to store a dispatch queue,
and event stream, etc.
InodeWatcherFlags is an enumeration from the Kernel. To avoid using it
outside of Serenity, add a FileWatcherFlags for FileWatcher, much like
we already have FileWatcherEvent::Type.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
With the new InodeWatcher API, the old style of creating a watcher per
inode will no longer work. Therefore the FileWatcher API has been
updated to support multiple watches, and its users have also been
refactored to the new style. At the moment, all operations done on a
(Blocking)FileWatcher return Result objects, however, this may be
changed in the future if it becomes too obnoxious. :^)

This wrapper abstracts the watch_file setup and file handling, and
allows using the watch_file events as part of the event loop via the
Core::Notifier class.
Also renames the existing DirectoryWatcher class to BlockingFileWatcher,
and adds support for the Modified mode in this class.
