fsmonitor--daemon: add pathname classification

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to classify relative and absolute
pathnames and decide how they should be handled.  This will
be used by the platform-specific backend to respond to each
filesystem event.

When we register for filesystem notifications on a directory,
we get events for everything (recursively) in the directory.
We want to report to clients changes to tracked and untracked
paths within the working directory.  We do not want to report
changes within the .git directory, for example.

This classification will be used in a later commit by the
different backends to classify paths as events are received.

+ * Pathname classifications.
+ *
+ * The daemon classifies the pathnames that it receives from file
+ * system notification events into the following categories and uses
+ * that to decide whether clients are told about them.  (And to watch
+ * for file system synchronization events.)
+ *
+ * The client should only care about paths within the working
+ * directory proper (inside the working directory and not ".git" nor
+ * inside of ".git/").  That is, the client has read the index and is
+ * asking for a list of any paths in the working directory that have
+ * been modified since the last token.  The client does not care about
+ * file system changes within the .git directory (such as new loose
+ * objects or packfiles).  So the client will only receive paths that
+ * are classified as IS_WORKDIR_PATH.
+ *
+ * The daemon uses the IS_DOT_GIT and IS_GITDIR internally to mean the
+ * exact ".git" directory or GITDIR.  If the daemon receives a delete
+ * event for either of these directories, it will automatically
+ * shutdown, for example.
+ *
+ * Note that the daemon DOES NOT explicitly watch nor special case the
+ * ".git/index" file.  The daemon does not read the index and does not
+ * have any internal index-relative state.  The daemon only collects
+ * the set of modified paths within the working directory.
