Instead of using a raw `KBuffer` and letting each implementation to
populating the specific flags on its own, we change things so we only
let each FileSystem implementation to validate the flag and its value
but then store it in a HashMap which its key is the flag name and
the value is a special new class called `FileSystemSpecificOption`
which wraps around `AK::Variant<...>`.
This approach has multiple advantages over the previous:
- It allows runtime inspection of what the user has set on a `MountFile`
description for a specific filesystem.
- It ensures accidental overriding of filesystem specific option that
was already set is not possible
- It removes ugly casting of a `KBuffer` contents to a strongly-typed
values. Instead, a strongly-typed `AK::Variant` is used which ensures
we always get a value without doing any casting.
Please note that we have removed support for ASCII string-oriented flags
as there were no actual use cases, and supporting such type would make
`FileSystemSpecificOption` more complicated unnecessarily for now.
This is the first part of write support, it allows for full file
modification, but no creating or removing files yet.

Caching the cluster list allows us to fill the two fields in the
InodeMetadata. While at it, don't cache the metadata as when we
have write support having to keep both InodeMetadata and FATEntry
correct is going to get very annoying.
dbgln() will always take its arguments by reference when possible, which
causes UB when dealing with packed structs. To avoid this, we now
explicitly copy all members whose alignment requirements aren't met.
Since this is the block size that file system drivers *should* set,
let's name it the logical block size, just like most file systems such
as ext2 already do anyways.
This never was a logical block size, it always was a device specific
block size. Ideally the block size would change in accordance to
whatever the driver wants to use, but that is a change for the future.
For now, let's get rid of this confusing naming.
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.
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.
