1682f0b760 Everything: Move to SPDX license identifiers in all files.
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

See: https://spdx.dev/resources/use/#identifiers

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

187b785a05 Kernel: Split BlockBasedFileSystem off FileBackedFileSystem
FileBackedFileSystem is one that's backed by (mounted from) a file, in other
words one that has a "source" of the mount; that doesn't mean it deals in
blocks. The hierarchy now becomes:

* FS
  * ProcFS
  * DevPtsFS
  * TmpFS
  * FileBackedFS
    * (future) Plan9FS
    * BlockBasedFS
      * Ext2FS

88e23113ae Kernel: Tweak FileBackedFS API to avoid intermediary copies
read_block() and write_block() now accept the count (how many bytes to read
or write) and offset (where in the block to start; defaults to 0). Using these
new APIs, we can avoid doing copies between intermediary buffers in a lot more
cases. Hopefully this improves performance or something.

ecee76b741 Kernel: Change Ext2FS to be backed by a file instead of a block device
In contrast to the previous patchset that was reverted, this time we use
a "special" method to access a file with block size of 512 bytes (like
a harddrive essentially).

6b59311d4b Kernel: Change Ext2FS to be backed by a file instead of a block device
This ensures that we can mount image files as virtual disks without the
need of implementing gross hacks like loopback devices :)
