VFS work.

Describe the bottleneck of one VFS-FS connection in fat.c. Add a comment
outlining possible approaches.

Also in fat.c, the async_create_manager() _must_ be called as well as
async_set_client_connection(). The latter alows VFS to duplicate the connection.
Modify fat_connection() to ACK all IPC_M_CONNECT_ME_TO calls.

66 * This connection fibril processes VFS requests from VFS.
67 *
68 * In order to support simultaneous VFS requests, our design is as follows.
69 * The connection fibril accepts VFS requests from VFS. If there is only one
70 * instance of the fibril, VFS will need to serialize all VFS requests it sends
71 * to FAT. To overcome this bottleneck, VFS can send FAT the IPC_M_CONNECT_ME_TO
72 * call. In that case, a new connection fibril will be created, which in turn
73 * will accept the call. Thus, a new phone will be opened for VFS.
74 *
75 * There are few issues with this arrangement. First, VFS can run out of
76 * available phones. In that case, VFS can close some other phones or use one
77 * phone for more serialized requests. Similarly, FAT can refuse to duplicate
78 * the connection. VFS should then just make use of already existing phones and
79 * route its requests through them. To avoid paying the fibril creation price
80 * upon each request, FAT might want to keep the connections open after the
81 * request has been completed.
