a10e63f08e Kernel/FileSystem: Send proper filetypes when traversing RAM-backed FSes
SysFS, ProcFS and DevPtsFS were all sending filetype 0 when traversing
their directories, but it is actually very easy to send proper filetypes
in these filesystems.
This patch binds all RAM backed filesystems to use only one enum for
their internal filetype, to simplify the implementation and allow
sharing of code.
Please note that the Plan9FS case is currently not solved as I am not
familiar with this filesystem and its constructs.

The ProcFS mostly keeps track of the filetype, and a fix was needed for
the /proc root directory - all processes exhibit a directory inside it
which makes it very easy to hardcode the directory filetype for them.
There's also the `self` symlink inode which is now exposed as DT_LNK.

As for SysFS, we could leverage the fact everything inherits from the
SysFSComponent class, so we could have a virtual const method to return
the proper filetype.
Most of the files in SysFS are "regular" files though, so the base class
has a non-pure virtual method.

Lastly, the DevPtsFS simply hardcodes '.' and '..' as directory file
type, and everything else is hardcoded to send the character device file
type, as this filesystem is only exposing character pts device files.

23a7ccf607 Kernel+LibCore+LibC: Split the mount syscall into multiple syscalls
This is a preparation before we can create a usable mechanism to use
filesystem-specific mount flags.
To keep some compatibility with userland code, LibC and LibCore mount
functions are kept being usable, but now instead of doing an "atomic"
syscall, they do multiple syscalls to perform the complete procedure of
mounting a filesystem.

The FileBackedFileSystem IntrusiveList in the VFS code is now changed to
be protected by a Mutex, because when we mount a new filesystem, we need
to check if a filesystem is already created for a given source_fd so we
do a scan for that OpenFileDescription in that list. If we fail to find
an already-created filesystem we create a new one and register it in the
list if we successfully mounted it. We use a Mutex because we might need
to initiate disk access during the filesystem creation, which will take
other mutexes in other parts of the kernel, therefore making it not
possible to take a spinlock while doing this.

673592dea8 Kernel: Stop using *LockRefPtr for FileSystem pointers
There was only one permanent storage location for these: as a member
in the Mount class.

That member is never modified after Mount initialization, so we don't
need to worry about races there.

e6fc7b3ff7 Kernel: Switch LockRefPtr<Inode> to RefPtr<Inode>
The main place where this is a little iffy is in RAMFS where inodes
have a LockWeakPtr to their parent inode. I've left that as a
LockWeakPtr for now.

c56e1c5378 Kernel/FileSystem: Simplify the ProcFS significantly
Since the ProcFS doesn't hold many global objects within it, the need
for a fully-structured design of backing components and a registry like
with the SysFS is no longer true.

To acommodate this, let's remove all backing store and components of the
ProcFS, so now it resembles what we had in the early days of ProcFS in
the project - a mostly-static filesystem, with very small amount of
kmalloc allocations needed.
We still use the inode index mechanism to understand the role of each
inode, but this is done in a much "static"ier way than before.

722ae35329 Kernel/FileSystem: Simplify the ProcFS inode code
This is done by merging all scattered pieces of derived classes from the
ProcFSInode class into that one class, so we don't use inheritance but
rather simplistic checks to determine the proper code for each ProcFS
inode with its specific characteristics.
