Teach fsmonitor--daemon to build a list of changed paths and associate
them with a token-id. This will be used by the platform-specific
backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.
The platform-specific file system listener thread receives file system
events containing one or more changed pathnames (with whatever
bucketing or grouping that is convenient for the file system). These
paths are accumulated (without locking) by the file system layer into
a `fsmonitor_batch`.
When the file system layer has drained the kernel event queue, it will
"publish" them to our token queue and make them visible to concurrent
client worker threads. The token layer is free to combine and/or de-dup
paths within these batches for efficient presentation to clients.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to classify relative and absolute
pathnames and decide how they should be handled. This will
be used by the platform-specific backend to respond to each
filesystem event.
When we register for filesystem notifications on a directory,
we get events for everything (recursively) in the directory.
We want to report to clients changes to tracked and untracked
paths within the working directory proper. We do not want to
report changes within the .git directory, for example.
This classification will be used in a later commit by the
different backends to classify paths as events are received.

Implement `run` command to try to begin listening for file system events.
This version defines the thread structure with a single fsmonitor_fs_listen
thread to watch for file system events and a simple IPC thread pool to
watch for connection from Git clients over a well-known named pipe or
Unix domain socket.
This commit does not actually do anything yet because the platform
backends are still just stubs.
