This is where the high-level structure of littlefs starts to reveal
itself.
This is also where a lot of really annoying Mtree vs Btree API questions
come to a head, like should Mtree.lookup return an Mdir or an Rattr?
What about Btree.lookup? What gets included in the returned path in all
of these? Well, at least this is an interesting exercise in rethinking
littlefs's internal APIs...
New classes:
- Mid - A representation of littlefs's metadata ids. I've just gone
ahead and included the block_size-dependent mbits as a field in every
Mid instance to try to make Mid operations easier.
It's not like we care about one extra word of storage in Python.
- Mdir - Again, we intentionally _don't_ inherit Rbyd to try to reduce
type errors, though Mdirs really are just Rbyds in this design.
- Mtree - The skeleton of littlefs. Tricky bits include traversing the
mroot chain and handling mroot-inlined mdirs. Note mroots are included
in the mdir/mid iteration methods.
Getting the tree renderers all working again was a real pain in the ass.
