Separate vdev's filesystem and vdev's device daemon into their own programs. #10

Closed jcnelson closed 9 years ago

They're already practically separate anyway; with just a little more boilerplate they could be separate programs. This also makes it trivial to avoid using the access control system: simply don't run the filesystem part.

Since sanely mounting and unmounting the filesystem is a key usability and management feature, it would be better if we simply made it possible to not compile the filesystem. I've seen requests to avoid the access control logic and just use the event daemon, but not the other way around.
