This PR:

  • changes the FS API to more closely match std::fs API (e.g.fs free functions)
  • it hides all the buffers from the public API by internally using memory pools with automatic deallocation drop. This change also reduces the number of lifetimes parameters in fs types to zero
  • the above point also keeps the API sound in presence of a safe mem::forget (memory leaks)
  • adds sanitizer tests to check that the safe API is indeed sound when it interops with mem::forget

TODOs

  • tweak GHA to run sanitizer tests
  • add back the transactional API
  • make Fs Send
  • RTFM + Fs example

last series of commit made the fs API interrupt safe (see RTFM example number 10 for an overview of what this means).

this PR is ready to land.
