The gofer's CachingInodeOperations implementation contains an optimization for
the common open-read-close pattern when we have a host FD. In this case, the
host kernel will update the timestamp for us to a reasonably close time, so we
don't need an extra RPC to the gofer.
However, when the app explicitly sets the timestamps (via futimes or similar)
then we actually DO need to update the timestamps, because the host kernel
won't do it for us.
To fix this, a new boolean `forceSetTimestamps` was added to
CachineInodeOperations.SetMaskedAttributes. It is only set by
gofer.InodeOperations.SetTimestamps.

This feature allows MemoryFile to delay eviction of "optional"
allocations, such as unused cached file pages.
Note that this incidentally makes CachingInodeOperations writeback
asynchronous, in the sense that it doesn't occur until eviction; this is
necessary because between when a cached page becomes evictable and when
it's evicted, file writes (via CachingInodeOperations.Write) may dirty
the page.
As currently implemented, this feature won't meaningfully impact
steady-state memory usage or caching; the reclaimer goroutine will
schedule eviction as soon as it runs out of other work to do. Future CLs
increase caching by adding constraints on when eviction is scheduled.

Dirty should be set only when the attribute is changed in the cache
only. Instances where the change was also sent to the backing file
doesn't need to dirty the attribute.
Also remove size update during WriteOut as writing dirty page would
naturaly grow the file if needed.

More helper structs have been added to the fsutil package to make it easier to
implement fs.InodeOperations and fs.FileOperations.
