Robert Clausecker 6e2da9672f filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.

Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

pyfakefs implements a fake file system that mocks the Python file system
modules. Using pyfakefs, your tests operate on a fake file system in memory
without touching the real disk. The software under test requires no modification
to work with pyfakefs.
Pyfakefs creates a new empty in-memory file system at each test start, which
replaces the real filesystem during the test. Think of pyfakefs as making a
per-test temporary directory, except for an entire file system.
There are several means to achieve this: by using the fs fixture if running
pytest, by using fake_filesystem_unittest.TestCase as a base class if using
unittest, by using a fake_filesystem_unittest.Patcher instance as a context
manager, or by using the patchfs decorator.
