cb10f70394 Kernel: Change internal handling of filesystem-specific options
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.

7f5a2c1466 Kernel: Register block and character devices in separate HashMaps
Instead of putting everything in one hash map, let's distinguish between
the devices based on their type.

This change makes the devices semantically separated, and is considered
a preparation before we could expose a comprehensive list of allocations
per major numbers and their purpose.

6795e74f1f Kernel/FileSystem: Mark DevLoopFS inodes as block devices
I accidentally marked them as char devices, so they're not usable on
their own when trying to mount with them.

0d2e4a7e67 Kernel/FileSystem: Add the DevLoopFS filesystem
Similarly to DevPtsFS, this filesystem is about exposing loop device
nodes easily in /dev/loop, so userspace doesn't need to do anything in
order to use new devices immediately.
