ed67a877a3 Kernel+SystemServer+Base: Introduce the RAMFS filesystem
This filesystem is based on the code of the long-lived TmpFS. It differs
from that filesystem in one keypoint - its root inode doesn't have a
sticky bit on it.

Therefore, we mount it on /dev, to ensure only root can modify files on
that directory. In addition to that, /tmp is mounted directly in the
SystemServer main (start) code, so it's no longer specified in the fstab
file. We ensure that /tmp has a sticky bit and has the value 0777 for
root directory permissions, which is certainly a special case when using
RAM-backed (and in general other) filesystems.

Because of these 2 changes, it's no longer needed to maintain the TmpFS
filesystem, hence it's removed (renamed to RAMFS), because the RAMFS
represents the purpose of this filesystem in a much better way - it
relies on being backed by RAM "storage", and therefore it's easy to
conclude it's temporary and volatile, so its content is gone on either
system shutdown or unmounting of the filesystem.

3b03077abb Kernel: Update the ".." inode for directories after a rename
Because the ".." entry in a directory is a separate inode, if a
directory is renamed to a new location, then we should update this entry
the point to the new parent directory as well.

10fa72d451 Kernel: Use AK::Time for InodeMetadata timestamps instead of time_t
Before this change, we were truncating the nanosecond part of file
timestamps in many different places.
