This is mainly to free up space for flags, we're pretty close to running
out of 32-bits with future planned features:
1. Reduced file type info from 8 -> 4 bits
We don't really need more than this, but it does mean type info is
no longer a simple byte load.
2. Moved most internal file-state flags into the next 4 bits
These are mostly file-type specific (except LFS_o_ZOMBIE), so we
don't need to worry too much about overlap.
3. Compacted ck-flags into 5 bits:
LFS_M_CKPROGS 0x00000800
LFS_M_CKFETCHES 0x00001000
LFS_M_CKPARITY 0x00002000
LFS_M_CKMETAREDUND* 0x00004000
LFS_M_CKDATACKSUMS 0x00008000
*Planned
Now that ck-flags are a bit more mature, it's pretty clear we'll
probably never have CKMETACKSUMS (ckcksums + small tag reads is
crazy expensive) or CKDATAREDUND (non-trivial parity fanout makes
this crazy expensives. So reserving bits for these just wastes bits.
This also moves things around so ck-flags no longer overlap with open
flags.
It's a tight fit, and I still think file-specific ck-flags are out-of-
scope, but this at least decreases flag ambiguity.
New jenga:
8 8 8 8
.----++----++----++----.
.-..-..-.-------.------.
o_flags: |t||f||t| | o |
|-||-||-|-------:--.---'
|-||-||-'--.----.------.
t_flags: |t||f|| t | | tstt |
'-''-'|----|----'------'
.----.|----|.--.:--:.--.
m_flags: | f || t ||c ||o ||m |
|----||-.--'|--|'--''--'
|----||-|---|--|.------.
f_flags: | f ||t| |c || f |
'----''-'---'--''------'
Fortunately no major code costs:
code stack ctx
before: 37792 2608 620
after: 37788 (-0.0%) 2608 (+0.0%) 620 (+0.0%)
dbgerr.py and dbgtag.py have proven to be incredibly useful for quick
debugging/introspection, so I figured why not have more of that.
My favorite part is being able to quickly see all flags set on an open
file handle:
(gdb) p file.o.o.flags
$2 = 24117517
(gdb) !./scripts/dbgflags.py o 24117517
LFS_O_WRONLY 0x00000001 Open a file as write only
LFS_O_CREAT 0x00000004 Create a file if it does not exist
LFS_O_EXCL 0x00000008 Fail if a file already exists
LFS_O_DESYNC 0x00000100 Do not sync or recieve file updates
LFS_o_REG 0x01000000 Type = regular-file
LFS_o_UNFLUSH 0x00100000 File's data does not match disk
LFS_o_UNSYNC 0x00200000 File's metadata does not match disk
LFS_o_UNCREAT 0x00400000 File does not exist yet
The only concern is if dbgflags.py falls out-of-sync often, I suspect
flag encoding will have quite a bit more churn than flags/tags. But we
can always drop this script in the future if this turns into a problem.

While poking around this also ended up with a bunch of other small
changes:
- Added LFS_*_MODE masks for consistency with other "type<->flag
embeddings"
- Added compat flag comments
- Adopted lowercase prefix for internal flags (LFS_o_ZOMBIE), though
not sure if I'll keep this yet...
- Tweaked dbgerr.py to also match ERR_ prefixes and to ignore case
