We previously had at least three different implementations for resolving
executables in the PATH, all of which had slightly different
characteristics.
Merge those into a single implementation to keep the behaviour
consistent, and maybe to make that implementation more configurable in
the future.
The existing File::is_device() helpers don't distinguish between
block and char devices. This commit adds File::is_block_device() and
File::is_char_device() helpers which are more specific.
This converts the return value of File::read_link() from String to
ErrorOr<String>.
The rest of the change is to support the potential of an Error being
returned and subsequent release of the value when no Error is returned.
Unfortunately at this stage none of the places affected can utililize
our TRY() macro.
Returns the size in bytes for a file path given its filename. Useful
when file size is needed without having to open the file to query it
using fstat() or seeking to the end.
This will generate absolute paths lexically rather than through a call
to realpath. The motivation for this is to generate absolute paths for
non-existent files in unveil calls, as realpath will not work if the
file does not exist.

FileManager, cp, mv, rm had some duplicated code, implementing basic
file management operations. This patch creates adds functions that try
to provide an interface suited for all these programs, but this patch
does not make them be used throughout the Userland.
They are added to Core::File following the example of functions such as
read_link/real_path_for.
