Continue to Improve File Monitoring on Windows
This updates the file monitoring on Windows by:
-Clean up the code, and ensure things are indeed being freed when we exit.
-Have attributes changes in files (when monitoring directories) properly
done.
-Split up the code, to ease readability
To Possibly Do:
-Check on whether we want to monitor the case when we try to pull out a USB
stick without ejecting in in Windows (the monitoring mechanism
understandbly denies such ejection requests, since the monitored
file/directory is obviously in use in this case)
-Investigate on the interesting/boredom algorithm, whether we can do it
here.
Possible Limitations:
-If moving a file out of the directory (or vice versa), the system reports
that as a delete event (or create event in the vice versa case), so in the
current form without using NTFS hournals (which is not optimal as that
would trigger UAC), so we can't reliably emit MOVE OUT or MOVE IN events
on Windows.
-Hard links are supported transparently, but notifications are only sent
by the system on changes when the monitored file/directory (or monitored
hard link) is being changed, when the file is modified via the hard link
or original file respectively in this case.
