Finish Rust Rewrite #4

The rust branch has a work-in-progress rewrite of the system in Rust. It has a few notable improvements:

Batch reads (significant performance boost for large number of scripts)
Keeps tree in-memory and mutates based on file change events
- This makes reading changes from Roblox back into the tree much easier
Significantly better file watcher
Easier distribution (precompiled binaries!)
Much more rigorous path support
I trust the error handling model a lot more :)

The scope of the Rust plugin changed a bit.

The server is now a lot simpler, and more of the work is in Lua. I anticipate that users won't update the server component very often, but Roblox has an update mechanism for plugins.

In addition to taking over from the JS version of rbxfs, the Rust version will also supersede rbxpacker and provide a consistent project format for Roblox places.
