This is a code simplification patch.
- It confines most of the implementation channel implementation into
fuse_loop_mt (which is its only user).
- It makes it more obvious in the code that channels are only ever used
when using -o clone_fd and multi-threaded main loop.
- It simplies the definition of both struct fuse_session and struct
fuse_chan.
- Theoretically it should result in (minuscule) performance
improvements when not using -o clone_fd.
- Overall, it removes a lot more lines of source code than it adds :-).
Move the fuse_chan_ops.send and .receive implementations to fuse_lowlevel.c. The abstraction wasn't actually useful and made the the splice implementation more difficult.
Remove fuse_chan_ops.send and fuse_chan_ops.receive.
Add new ->write_buf() method to low level interface. This
allows passig a generic buffer, either containing a memory buffer
or a file descriptor. This allows implementing zero copy writes.
Add fuse_session_receive_buf() and fuse_session_process_buf()
which may be used in event loop implementations to replace
fuse_chan_recv() and fuse_session_process() respectively.
