Implement 'git fsmonitor--daemon start' command. This command starts
an instance of 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' in the background using
the new 'start_bg_command()' function.
We avoid the fork-and-call technique on Unix systems in favor of a
fork-and-exec technique. This gives us more uniform Trace2 child-*
events. It also makes our usage more consistent with Windows usage.
On Windows, teach 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' to optionally call
'FreeConsole()' to release handles to the inherited Win32 console
(despite being passed invalid handles for stdin/out/err). Without
this, command prompts and powershell terminal windows could hang
in "exit" until the last background child process exited or released
their Win32 console handle. (This was not seen with git-bash shells
because they don't have a Win32 console attached to them.)

Implement `run` command to try to begin listening for file system events.
This version defines the thread structure with a single fsmonitor_fs_listen
thread to watch for file system events and a simple IPC thread pool to
watch for connection from Git clients over a well-known named pipe or
Unix domain socket.
This commit does not actually do anything yet because the platform
backends are still just stubs.

Implement `stop` and `status` client commands to control and query the
status of a `fsmonitor--daemon` server process (and implicitly start a
server process if necessary).
Later commits will implement the actual server and monitor the file
system.

Create a built-in file system monitoring daemon that can be used by
the existing `fsmonitor` feature (protocol API and index extension)
to improve the performance of various Git commands, such as `status`.
The `fsmonitor--daemon` feature builds upon the `Simple IPC` API and
provides an alternative to hook access to existing fsmonitors such
as `watchman`.
This commit merely adds the new command without any functionality.
