791f42c104 WIP: Low level file management
We have 'File' which associates a name with a file and will be used to
offer an interface for the application.

Posix 'Filehandles' which are managed in a 'Filehandlecache' to utilize
a limited number of fd's at optimum.

Internally we use 'Filedescriptor's which manage files, mapping and all
kinds of metadata. Filedescriptors weak referenced by a registry and freed
when the last user vanishes.
