Xavier Deguillard ad5402810a win: make .eden/config an in-memory blob
Summary:
At mount time, EdenFS will try to create the .eden/config file which will
indicate to the client that this is an EdenFS repo, this config also contains
the location of the socket to talk to EdenFS.

On unices, and while the .eden directory is slightly different, the content of
this directory is written onto the overlay, but on Windows, the overlay is the
repository itself. What this means is that creating this config file will end
up triggering a ProjFS callback, which can potentially lead to deadlocks if
we're not careful.

A future change will simply prevent these recursive callbacks from happening
and thus a solution needs to be found for the .eden/config file itself. Since
the file itself is tiny (about 400B), and should only be accessed once[0], the
simple approach to keep it in memory and special case it works perfectly.

[0]: Once a file was read fully by ProjFS, it's present in the overlay and
     EdenFS will no longer be requested to provide it.
