Watching with at=tail is inevitable as explained in the previous patch.

This is needed because when e.g. wcfs is just started the coverage of
ΔFtail is (head,head] i.e. empty, and if user wants to setup a watch
with at=head, it becomes watch with at=tail. Then that at is used in a
query and if point-queries with at=tail are disallowed it panics with
"at out of bounds".

This fixes crashes in test_wcfs_watch_setup (see 339f1884 "wcfs: tests:
Always start tDB with ZBigFile pre-created before WCFS startup") and in
test_wcfs_crash_old_data (see 97ce5105 "wcfs: tests: Add test do
demonstrate "at out of bounds" crash on readPinWatchers ->
ΔFtail.BlkRevAt")

For the reference zodb.ΔTail already allows point queries with at=tail:

https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/neo/blob/1193c44e/go/zodb/δtail.go#L202-206
https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/neo/blob/1193c44e/go/zodb/δtail.go#L225-228

The codepath that sends pin messages to watchers on FUSE READ, similarly
to what was showed in 339f1884 is also vulnerable to "at out of bounds"
panic if at=ΔFtail.tail:

Still also crashing in test_wcfs_watch_setup.

Soon this test will also exercise functionality from isolation protocol
as well and so it will stop to be basic.

Move plus rename test_wcfs_basic_invalidation_wo_dFtail_coverage ->
test_wcfs_crash_old_data.

Still crashing in test_wcfs_watch_setup.

This semantically moves initialization code from
test_wcfs_basic_invalidation_wo_dFtail_coverage (see a7bf0311 "wcfs: Fix
crash if on invalidation handledδZ needs to access ZODB") to tDB itself,
and will be useful to exercise similar scenarios in other tests.

Still crashing in test_wcfs_watch_setup.

This should hopefully exercise codepaths in wcfs.go a bit more for
mistakes similar to a7bf0311 (wcfs: Fix crash if on invalidation
handledδZ needs to access ZODB) where the code on server side forgets to
put zhead's transaction into context.

Currently, because watching @tail is disallowed, this leads to panic triggered by test_wcfs_watch_setup:

However next we will anyway need to allow to setup watches @tail, and so
we will be fixing this and other errors in followup commits.

NOTE: we don't loose coverage for the case when ZBigFile is created after wcfs
startup due to test_wcfs_watch_2files, where that scenario is tested.

ΔFtail/ΔBtail tests also exercise ZBigFile/BTree epochs
(creation/deletion) well.

tDB.commit always creates only one transaction and so wcfs should be
expected to catch up with only that single one -> no need to loop.

No need to keep tDB._wc_zheadv as we have information about all
committed transactions in t.dFtail.

.commit is the only caller of ._wcsync. .commit is also the only place
via which tests are intended to modify ZODB.

- .commit performs ZODB commit and synchronizes WCFS to database changes;
- ._commit performs ZODB commit without WCFS synchronization.

We will soon need ._commit to create initial revisions for ZBigFile
while WCFS is not yet started.

If we do not setup logging explicitly, it will print only

    No handlers could be found for logger "wcfs"

instead of emitting useful details in before e.g.

    RuntimeError: fuse_unmount /dev/shm/wcfs/<X>: failed: fusermount: failed to unmount /dev/shm/wcfs/<X>: Device or resource busy
    (more details logged)

-> Fix it.

The invalidation logic is generally right, but invalidateBlk -> ΔFtail.BlkRevAt
was being called with ctx without transaction. As the result it was
panicking as

    panic: transaction: no current transaction

Problem reported by @Francois.

Fixes the following warning that started to appear:

In 5c8340d2 we said:

    dbclose now uses defer almost everywhere - there are still few places in
    tests, where one test function is opening/closing test database multiple
    times - those were not (yet ?) converted.

Let's convert those remaining places now, because when wendelin.core
tests are run wrt plain ZODB4 (contrary to ZODB4-wc2), many tests fail
at fileh_open time, e.g.

and DB is left unclosed.

This change should reduce, if not completely fix, the number of
leaked /tmp/testdb_* directories for Wendelin.core.UnitTest-ZODB4(xfail) testsuite.

When WCFS-mmapped memory is accessed, it can get SIGBUS on IO error (and
automatically on WCFS crash), and SIGSEGV when accessed client mapping is closed.

tFile.assertBlk in wcfs_test.py already converts SIGSEGV into python
exception when accessing on-wcfs file's block. However
tMapping.assertBlk was not doing so, which, instead of providing proper
details, leads to test crashes if something goes wrong.

For example when wendelin.core tests are run wrt plain ZODB4 (contrary to
ZODB4-wc2, see nexedi/ZODB!1 and
nexedi/slapos@e256ed97), it first fails in
pinner and then gets SIGSEGV on data access, because, to mimic SIGBUS on
EIO, pinner shutdowns all mappings on its failure:

https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/49f826b1/wcfs/client/wcfs.cpp#L477-501
https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20211118-7C45220A/25

-> Fix it by wrapping test block access with appropriate read_exfault
variant.

Here wcfs.go should have exited due to either unmount request, _or_
SIGTERM.

If first unmount fails, e.g. due to "device or resource is busy", we are
trying to unmount the filesystem the second time after force
kill/FUSE-abort (see 5f684a49 "wcfs: Server.stop: Make sure to remove
mount entry even if we had to use FUSE abort").

This way the caller of Server.stop should get an error only if that
second unmount fails, not on unmount-1 error, which should be considered
as internal to Server.stop implementation.

If we don't hide that unmount-1 error and raise it to the caller, from
outside it can confusingly look like "the server is successfully
stopped, but nevertheless we are raised with an error".

This way on plain ZODB4 the following non-wcfs tests will continue to
pass

   test.py/fs-!wcfs
   test.py/zeo-!wcfs
   test.py/neo-!wcfs

instead of failing as e.g. in here:

   https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20211116-123A66706

On plain ZODB4 WCFS-related functionality - which uses zconn_at - will
continue to raise corresponding assertion in WCFS-related tests, as e.g. in

https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20211116-123A66706/6

Server.stop currently tries to unmount, and if that fails invokes FUSE
abort and kills wcfs.go . However it does not call unmount the second
time after such abort, and this way the filesystem remains mounted (in
ENOTCONN state) and rmdir(mountpoint) fails.

-> Fix it by calling unmount the second time if we had to abort FUSE
connection. In that second try use lazy unmounting, because regular
unmount can still fail with "Device or resource busy" since there
could be still client file descriptors left pointing to the mounted
filesystem. With lazy mode unmounting + followup rmdir, hopefully,
always succeeds.

Here is example test run where one test timed out, FUSE connection was
aborted, but neither the filesystem was unmounted, nor mountpoint
directory was deleted, which led to all followup tests failing in setup
assert that testmountpoint does not exist:

https://nexedijs.erp5.net/#/test_result_module/20211112-1ACEA62D/22

This patch should fix those followup failures + fix another leakage of
WCFS mounts in real services.

By default every WCFS run creates several files in /tmp/wcfs.*.log.* and
without explicit cleanup those files are left hanging on testnodes. Over
last ~6 months we accumulated ~ 300K such files.

Don't allow those files to be leaked by instructing WCFS to log to
stderr during test run. This should be also useful to see details in the
test output.

With NEO we were creating test database on /tmp but we were not deleting
it in the end. As the result many /tmp/neo_XXXXXX non-empty directories
were being leaked.

-> Fix it by creating testdb directory outselves and removing it at the
end, similarly to FileStorage and ZEO.

Fixes: 7fc4ec66 (tests: Allow to test with ZEO & NEO ZODB storages)

We run tests with different GOMAXPROCS because some WCFS bugs are only
likely to trigger when there is only 1 or 2 main OS thread(s) in WCFS.

However test.go does not exercise filesystem functionality - it runs
unit tests for ZBlk decoding, ΔBtail and similar. At the same time
test.go:* currently occupies ~ 50% of whole time to run full testsuite
with the main consumer being ΔBtail random testing.

-> Run test.go only once. This should save ~ 1000s for each run and
lower whole time to run wendelin.core testsuite on testnode from
~60m -> to ~40 minutes.

Else every time test.py/wcfs is run several empty directories are left
in /dev/shm/wcfs - each corresponding to WCFS server that was
automatically spawned and stopped at the end of the test. Over time this
can accumulate to some big number as e.g. ~20000 of such directories
were left on the testnode during last 6 months.

This are the early days of WCFS - we want full details which in default
configuration might not be available to see if WCFS gets stuck for one
reason or another. See added comments for details.

    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xce in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

This happens becuase by default setuptools collects filenames as str, not
unicode, and our git_lsfiles - also registered into setuptools.file_finders
entrypoint - collects filenames as unicode. Previously everything was working
because there was no on-ASCII filenames, and so unicode vs str coercion worked
automatically. But now, after there is filename like 'δbtail.go', it stopped to
work and raises UnicodeDecodeError.

-> Fix it by adjusting git_lsfiles to collect filenames as UTF-8 encoded
strings instead of unicode.

Fix last-minute error that crept in during
kirr/wendelin.core@4af54da9 :

    ./wcfs.go:957:4: Errorf format %s has arg sk of wrong type *lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/wcfs.FileSock

Amends 4430de41.

Add two functions, that were developed during wendelin.core 2 α, to the
package for completeness:

- map_zero_into_ro complements map_zero_ro, but mmaps into user-provided buffer.
- sync calls msync on the provided memory.

Remove outdated TODO because test_wcfs_watch_before_create passes this
days. It was fixed after ΔFtail was taught about epochs and the fix was
reflected in kirr/wendelin.core@63ae8326.

Amends 10f7153a.

It is not possible for WCFS to access data of in-RAM storage of another
process. But without explicit explanation the error message is confusing
- it was something like:

    NotImplementedError: don't know how to extract zurl from <ZODB.MappingStorage.MappingStorage object at 0x7f28f04cea10>

which suggests it was just not implemented.

By using WCFS as mmap-overlay for base data(*). WCFS-mode is still opt-in
with default remaining to use old full user-space virtual memory manager
mode as initially introduced in 2015.

Wendelin.core should be draftly usable in WCFS mode now.

This patch is organized as follows:

- file_zodb.cpp provides mmap-overlay operations for WCFS implemented via
  WCFS client library.
- file_zodb.py is adjusted accordingly to use WCFS if requested.
  Low-level things specific to gluing to file_zodb.cpp are moved to _file_zodb.pyx.
- the rest of the changes are drive-by by main ones.

(*) see the following patches for what is mmap-overlay:

- fae045cc  (bigfile/virtmem: Introduce "mmap overlay" mode)
- 23362204  (bigfile/py: Allow PyBigFile backend to expose "mmap overlay" functionality)

Some preliminary history:

01916f09    X Draft demo that reading data through wcfs works
fd58082a    X Fix build on old GCC
f622e751    X tests: Stop wcfs spawned during tests
f118617b    X tests: Don't try to stop wcfs that is already exited

Provide integration with virtmem, so that WCFS Mapping can be associated
and managed under virtmem VMA. In other words provide support so that WCFS can
be used as ZBigFile backend in "mmap overlay" mode (see fae045cc "bigfile/virtmem:
Introduce "mmap overlay" mode" for description of mmap-overlay mode).

We'll need this functionality for ZBigFile + WCFS client integration.

Virtmem integration will be tested via running whole wendelin.core functional
testsuite in wcfs-mode after the next patch.

Integration with wendelin.core virtmem layer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This client package can be used standalone, but additionally provides
integration with wendelin.core userspace virtual memory manager: when a
Mapping is created, it can be associated as serving base layer for a
particular virtmem VMA via FileH.mmap(vma=...). In that case, since virtmem
itself adds another layer of dirty pages over read-only base provided by
Mapping(+)

                 ┌──┐                      ┌──┐
                 │RW│                      │RW│    ← virtmem VMA dirty pages
                 └──┘                      └──┘
                           +
                                                   VMA base = X@at view provided by Mapping:

                                          ___        /@revA/bigfile/X
        __                                           /@revB/bigfile/X
               _                                     /@revC/bigfile/X
                           +                         ...
     ───  ───── ──────────────────────────   ─────   /head/bigfile/X

the Mapping will interact with virtmem layer to coordinate
updates to mapping virtual memory.

How it works
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wcfs client integrates with virtmem layer to support virtmem handle
dirtying pages of read-only base-layer that wcfs client provides via
isolated Mapping. For wcfs-backed bigfiles every virtmem VMA is interlinked
with Mapping:

      VMA     -> BigFileH -> ZBigFile -----> Z
       ↑↓                                    O
     Mapping  -> FileH    -> wcfs server --> DB

When a page is write-accessed, virtmem mmaps in a page of RAM in place of
accessed virtual memory, copies base-layer content provided by Mapping into
there, and marks that page as read-write.

Upon receiving pin message, the pinner consults virtmem, whether
corresponding page was already dirtied in virtmem's BigFileH (call to
__fileh_page_isdirty), and if it was, the pinner does not remmap Mapping
part to wcfs/@revX/f and just leaves dirty page in its place, remembering
pin information in fileh._pinned.

Once dirty pages are no longer needed (either after discard/abort or
writeout/commit), virtmem asks wcfs client to remmap corresponding regions
of Mapping in its place again via calls to Mapping.remmap_blk for previously
dirtied blocks.

The scheme outlined above does not need to split Mapping upon dirtying an
inner page.

See bigfile_ops interface (wendelin/bigfile/file.h) that explains base-layer
and overlaying from virtmem point of view. For wcfs this interface is
provided by small wcfs client wrapper in bigfile/file_zodb.cpp.

    point of view on layering.

For ZBigFile + WCFS client integration we'll need to open WCFS
connections that observer database at the same state as current ZODB
connection. Later that WCFS connection needs to adjust its on-WCFS view
in accordance to how ZODB connection adjusts its one.

Wczsync provides a function to do so: pywconnOf(zconn) will open WCFS
connection and maintain it in sync with ZODB connection zconn.

Some preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@8bf8f23b    X bigfile/_file_zodb: Fix logic around ZSync usage
kirr/wendelin.core@571cb737    fixup! X bigfile/_file_zodb: Fix logic around ZSync usage

kirr/wendelin.core@7203d7ab    X wcfs: Fix ZSync to close wconn on zdb.close, even if zconn stays alive

In 3bd82127 (lib/zodb: Add zconn_at draft (ZODB5 only)) we added
zconn_at function to find out as of which state a ZODB connection is
viewing the database. That was ZODB5-only however.

Let's add support for ZODB4 now - by requiring ZODB4-wc2 - a version of
ZODB4 with MVCC backported from ZODB5: ZODB!1

This makes wendelin.core to work on either ZODB5 or ZODB4-wc2, but not
plain ZODB4. However as zconn_at will be used only for WCFS-integration,
non-wcfs mode will continue to work on all ZODB5, ZODB4-wc2 and plain
ZODB4.

ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use zconn_at to open WCFS
connection that corresponds to ZODB connection.

Preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@1c3b7750    X zconn_at for ZODB4

Add patch to ZODB.Connection to support callback on after database is
closed. ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use this callback to
close WCFS connection when corresponding ZODB.DB is closed.

Preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@a26d9659    X lib/zodb: Connection += onShutdownCallback

In 959ae2d0 (lib/zodb: Add patch to ZODB.Connection to support callback
on connection DB view change) we added patch for ZODB.Connection to
support callback when database view of the connection changes. At that
time the patch was working for ZODB5 and ZODB4 was TODO.
Let's add support for ZODB4 (both ZODB4 and ZODB4-wc2) now.

As a reminder: ZBigFile + WCFS client integration will use this callback
to keep WCFS connection in sync with ZODB connection.

Preliminary history:

kirr/wendelin.core@533a4cfa     X onResyncCallback for ZODB4

This patch logically continues previous change `bigfile/virtmem:
Introduce "mmap overlay" mode` and exposes mmap-overlay functionality to
Python: if PyBigFile backend provides .blkmmapper PyCapsule the
mmap-related methods will be extracted from it and passed on through to
virtmem - see _bigfile.h for details.

ZBigFile will use this to hook into using WCFS.

with the intention to later use WCFS through it.

Before this patch virtmem had only one mode: a BigFile backend was
providing loadblk and storeblk methods, and on every block access
loadblk was called to load block data into allocated RAM page.

However with WCFS virtmem won't be needed to do anything to load data -
because loading from head/bigfile/f mmaped through OS will be handled by
OS directly. Thus for wcfs, that leaves virtmem only to handle dirtying
and writeout.

-> Introduce "mmap overlay" mode into virtmem to handle WCFS-like
BigFile backends - that can provide read-only base layer suitable for
mmapping.

This patch is organized as follows:

- fileh_open is added flags argument to indicate which mode to use for
  opened fileh. BigFileH is added .mmap_overlay bitfield correspondingly.
  (virtmem.h)

- struct bigfile_ops is extended with 3 optional methods that a BigFile
  backend might provide to support mmap-overlay mode:

  * mmap_setup_read,
  * remmap_blk_read, and
  * munmap

  (see file.h changes for documentation of this new interface)

- if opened with MMAP_OVERLAY flag, virtmem is using those methods to
  organize VMA views backed by read-only base mmap layer and writeout
  for such VMAs (virtmem.c)

- a test is added to exercise MMAP_OVERLAY virtmem mode (test_virtmem.c)

- everything else, including bigfile.py, is switched to use
  DONT_MMAP_OVERLAY unconditionally for now.

In internal comments inside virtmem new mode is interchangeable called
"mmap overlay" and "wcfs", even though wcfs is not hooked to be used
mmap-overlaying yet.

Some preliminary history:

fb6932a2    X Split PAGE_LOADED -> PAGE_LOADED, PAGE_LOADED_FOR_WRITE
4a20a573    X Settled on what should happen after writeout for wcfs case
f084ff9b    X Transition to all VMA under 1 fileh to be either all based on wcfs or all based on !wcfs

This patch follows-up on previous patch, that added server-side part of
isolation protocol handling, and adds client package that takes care about
WCFS isolation protocol details and provides to clients simple interface to
isolated view of bigfile data on WCFS similar to regular files: given a
particular revision of database @at, it provides synthetic read-only bigfile
memory mappings with data corresponding to @at state, but using /head/bigfile/*
most of the time to build and maintain the mappings.

The patch is organized as follows:

- wcfs.h and wcfs.cpp brings in usage documentation, internal overview and the
  main part of the implementation.

- wcfs/client/client_test.py is tests.

- The rest of the changes in wcfs/client/ are to support the implementation and tests.

Quoting package documentation for the reference:

---- 8< ----

Package wcfs provides WCFS client.

This client package takes care about WCFS isolation protocol details and
provides to clients simple interface to isolated view of bigfile data on
WCFS similar to regular files: given a particular revision of database @at,
it provides synthetic read-only bigfile memory mappings with data
corresponding to @at state, but using /head/bigfile/* most of the time to
build and maintain the mappings.

For its data a mapping to bigfile X mostly reuses kernel cache for
/head/bigfile/X with amount of data not associated with kernel cache for
/head/bigfile/X being proportional to δ(bigfile/X, at..head). In the usual
case where many client workers simultaneously serve requests, their database
views are a bit outdated, but close to head, which means that in practice
the kernel cache for /head/bigfile/* is being used almost 100% of the time.

A mapping for bigfile X@at is built from OS-level memory mappings of
on-WCFS files as follows:

                                          ___        /@revA/bigfile/X
        __                                           /@revB/bigfile/X
               _                                     /@revC/bigfile/X
                           +                         ...
     ───  ───── ──────────────────────────   ─────   /head/bigfile/X

where @revR mmaps are being dynamically added/removed by this client package
to maintain X@at data view according to WCFS isolation protocol(*).

API overview

 - `WCFS` represents filesystem-level connection to wcfs server.
 - `Conn` represents logical connection that provides view of data on wcfs
   filesystem as of particular database state.
 - `FileH` represent isolated file view under Conn.
 - `Mapping` represents one memory mapping of FileH.

A path from WCFS to Mapping is as follows:

 WCFS.connect(at)                    -> Conn
 Conn.open(foid)                     -> FileH
 FileH.mmap([blk_start +blk_len))    -> Mapping

A connection can be resynced to another database view via Conn.resync(at').

Documentation for classes provides more thorough overview and API details.

Wcfs client organization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wcfs client provides to its users isolated bigfile views backed by data on
WCFS filesystem. In the absence of Isolation property, wcfs client would
reduce to just directly using OS-level file wcfs/head/f for a bigfile f. On
the other hand there is a simple, but inefficient, way to support isolation:
for @at database view of bigfile f - directly use OS-level file wcfs/@at/f.
The latter works, but is very inefficient because OS-cache for f data is not
shared in between two connections with @at1 and @at2 views. The cache is
also lost when connection view of the database is resynced on transaction
boundary. To support isolation efficiently, wcfs client uses wcfs/head/f
most of the time, but injects wcfs/@revX/f parts into mappings to maintain
f@at view driven by pin messages that wcfs server sends to client in
accordance to WCFS isolation protocol(*).

Wcfs server sends pin messages synchronously triggered by access to mmaped
memory. That means that a client thread, that is accessing wcfs/head/f mmap,
is completely blocked while wcfs server sends pins and waits to receive acks
from all clients. In other words on-client handling of pins has to be done
in separate thread, because wcfs server can also send pins to client that
triggered the access.

Wcfs client implements pins handling in so-called "pinner" thread(+). The
pinner thread receives pin requests from wcfs server via watchlink handle
opened through wcfs/head/watch. For every pin request the pinner finds
corresponding Mappings and injects wcfs/@revX/f parts via Mapping._remmapblk
appropriately.

The same watchlink handle is used to send client-originated requests to wcfs
server. The requests are sent to tell wcfs that client wants to observe a
particular bigfile as of particular revision, or to stop watching it.
Such requests originate from regular client threads - not pinner - via entry
points like Conn.open, Conn.resync and FileH.close.

Every FileH maintains fileh._pinned {} with currently pinned blk -> rev. This
dict is updated by pinner driven by pin messages, and is used when
new fileh Mapping is created (FileH.mmap).

In wendelin.core a bigfile has semantic that it is infinite in size and
reads as all zeros beyond region initialized with data. Memory-mapping of
OS-level files can also go beyond file size, however accessing memory
corresponding to file region after file.size triggers SIGBUS. To preserve
wendelin.core semantic wcfs client mmaps-in zeros for Mapping regions after
wcfs/head/f.size. For simplicity it is assumed that bigfiles only grow and
never shrink. It is indeed currently so, but will have to be revisited
if/when wendelin.core adds bigfile truncation. Wcfs client restats
wcfs/head/f at every transaction boundary (Conn.resync) and remembers f.size
in FileH._headfsize for use during one transaction(%).

--------

(*) see wcfs.go documentation for WCFS isolation protocol overview and details.
(+) currently, for simplicity, there is one pinner thread for each connection.
    In the future, for efficiency, it might be reworked to be one pinner thread
    that serves all connections simultaneously.
(%) see _headWait comments on how this has to be reworked.

Wcfs client locking organization

Wcfs client needs to synchronize regular user threads vs each other and vs
pinner. A major lock Conn.atMu protects updates to changes to Conn's view of
the database. Whenever atMu.W is taken - Conn.at is changing (Conn.resync),
and contrary whenever atMu.R is taken - Conn.at is stable (roughly speaking
Conn.resync is not running).

Similarly to wcfs.go(*) several locks that protect internal data structures
are minor to Conn.atMu - they need to be taken only under atMu.R (to
synchronize e.g. multiple fileh open running simultaneously), but do not
need to be taken at all if atMu.W is taken. In data structures such locks
are noted as follows

     sync::Mutex xMu;    // atMu.W  |  atMu.R + xMu

After atMu, Conn.filehMu protects registry of opened file handles
(Conn._filehTab), and FileH.mmapMu protects registry of created Mappings
(FileH.mmaps) and FileH.pinned.

Several locks are RWMutex instead of just Mutex not only to allow more
concurrency, but, in the first place for correctness: pinner thread being
core element in handling WCFS isolation protocol, is effectively invoked
synchronously from other threads via messages coming through wcfs server.
For example Conn.resync sends watch request to wcfs server and waits for the
answer. Wcfs server, in turn, might send corresponding pin messages to the
pinner and _wait_ for the answer before answering to resync:

       - - - - - -
      |       .···|·····.        ---->   = request
         pinner <------.↓        <····   = response
      |           |   wcfs
         resync -------^↓
      |      `····|·····
       - - - - - -
      client process

This creates the necessity to use RWMutex for locks that pinner and other
parts of the code could be using at the same time in synchronous scenarios
similar to the above. This locks are:

     - Conn.atMu
     - Conn.filehMu

Note that FileH.mmapMu is regular - not RW - mutex, since nothing in wcfs
client calls into wcfs server via watchlink with mmapMu held.

The ordering of locks is:

     Conn.atMu > Conn.filehMu > FileH.mmapMu

The pinner takes the following locks:

     - wconn.atMu.R
     - wconn.filehMu.R
     - fileh.mmapMu (to read .mmaps  +  write .pinned)

(*) see "Wcfs locking organization" in wcfs.go

Handling of fork

When a process calls fork, OS copies its memory and creates child process
with only 1 thread. That child inherits file descriptors and memory mappings
from parent. To correctly continue using Conn, FileH and Mappings, the child
must recreate pinner thread and reconnect to wcfs via reopened watchlink.
The reason here is that without reconnection - by using watchlink file
descriptor inherited from parent - the child would interfere into
parent-wcfs exchange and neither parent nor child could continue normal
protocol communication with WCFS.

For simplicity, since fork is seldomly used for things besides followup
exec, wcfs client currently takes straightforward approach by disabling
mappings and detaching from WCFS server in the child right after fork. This
ensures that there is no interference into parent-wcfs exchange should child
decide not to exec and to continue running in the forked thread. Without
this protection the interference might come even automatically via e.g.
Python GC -> PyFileH.__del__ -> FileH.close -> message to WCFS.
