Start documentation for filesystems

We have quite a few GSoC projects around this, it would make sense to
have some documentation for people attempting them.

Add some generic overview of filesystems and how to test them.

<H1>Resources for the Be File System</H1>
<p>Probably the best resource for a description of the inner workings of BFS is the
book "Practical File System Design with the Be File System" written by Dominic
Giampaolo and published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers. Although that book is out of
print, it's available at the <A HREF="https://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/practical-file-system-design.pdf">Haiku web site</A>.
<p>If you prefer to see how it works in code, please have a look at <A HREF="https://git.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/bfs">Haiku's BFS
implementation</A>.
<p>If you are interested in the Haiku file system API, please refer to its documentation
as part of the Haiku book.
