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

This CL adds a new cache-policy for gofer filesystems that uses the host page
cache, but causes dirents to be reloaded on each Walk, and does not cache
readdir results.
This policy is useful when the remote filesystem may change out from underneath
us, as any remote changes will be reflected on the next Walk.
Importantly, this cache policy is only consistent if we do not use gVisor's
internal page cache, since that page cache is tied to the Inode and may be
thrown away upon Revalidation.
This cache policy should only be used when the gofer supports donating host
FDs, since then gVisor will make use of the host kernel page cache, which will
be consistent for all open files in the gofer. In fact, a panic will be raised
if a file is opened without a donated FD.

Dirent.FullName takes the global renameMu, but can be called during Create,
which itself takes dirent.mu and dirent.dirMu, which is a lock-order violation:
Dirent.Create
d.dirMu.Lock
d.mu.Lock
Inode.Create
gofer.inodeOperations.Create
gofer.NewFile
Dirent.FullName
d.renameMu.RLock
We only use the FullName here for logging, and in this case we can get by with
logging only the BaseName.
A `BaseName` method was added to Dirent, which simply returns the name, taking
d.parent.mu as required.
In the Create pathway, we can't call d.BaseName() because taking d.parent.mu
after d.mu violates the lock order. But we already know the base name of the
file we just created, so that's OK.
In the Open/GetFile pathway, we are free to call d.BaseName() because the other
dirent locks are not held.

The new policy is identical to FSCACHE (which caches everything in memory), but
it also flushes writes to the backing fs agent immediately.
All gofer cache policy decisions have been moved into the cachePolicy type.
Previously they were sprinkled around the codebase.
There are many different things that we cache (page cache, negative dirents,
dirent LRU, unstable attrs, readdir results....), and I don't think we should
have individual flags to control each of these. Instead, we should have a few
high-level cache policies that are consistent and useful to users. This
refactoring makes it easy to add more such policies.
