Goal is to deliver fsmonitor for Linux that is on par with fsmonitor for Windows and Mac OS. This patch set builds upon previous work for done for Windows and Mac OS (first 6 patches) to implement a fsmonitor back-end for Linux based on the Linux inotify API. inotify differs significantly from the equivalent Windows and Mac OS APIs in that a watch must be registered for every directory of interest (rather than a singular watch at the root of the directory tree) and special care must be taken to handle directory renames correctly.
