the fallback method of calling stat() on the monitored paths does not allow
for various eio events to be emitted, meaning that any application which relies
on those events can never receive them
this provides a method for checking a monitor to determine which functionality
is available, and also provides more explicit documentation regarding events
that are not provided by fallback monitoring
this method is marked as beta

Differential Revision: https://phab.enlightenment.org/D6447
The legacy Eio_File factory functions are replaced by an Eo object
called Eo_Job that return promises wrapping the async file operations.
With this commit, the legacy Eio callbacks are replaced by the following
Eo/Promises counterparts :
* Done_Cb -> Promise then success callback
* Error_Cb -> Promise then error callback
* Main_Cb -> Promise progress callback
* Filter_Cb -> Job object event (more below)
Events are used to deliver and get the filter data. To differentiate
between the named and direct versions, they come in "filter,direct" and
"filter,name" versions.
Monitors were wrapped inside a new class Eo_Sentry.
The user creates a sentry object and adds monitoring targets to it,
listening to events on it.
The sentry event info is composed of two strings. The source string
is the path being monitored, i.e. the one passed to eio_sentry_add, and
the trigger string is the path that actually triggered the event, e.g.
a new file created in a monitored directory.
