fix(brainfs): refuse an in-brain file swapped in behind a symlink; in-brain test targets (#157)

Review round 1 on PR #168:

- ReadRegular/ReadRegularMax Lstat the path, then open it again by path;
  os.Root follows an in-root final symlink even with O_NOFOLLOW, so a
  symlink to another brain file swapped in between was read (8k-109k
  raw/ leaks in RebuildIndex, LoadInventory, IndexDoc). The opened handle
  must now be the same file as the Lstat (os.SameFile). This covers every
  ReadRegular caller, slices 1-3 included.
- Every symlink test pointed outside the brain, which os.Root refuses on
  its own. Each now has an in-brain case too: a static in-brain link per
  reader, AssertNoLeakFrom with an in-brain target, and brainfs unit tests
  for ReadDirRegular and the in-brain swap.
- brainfstest: swap links are relative (os.Root refuses every absolute
  link, so an absolute in-brain target tested nothing), and each swapper
  has its own temp name (two swappers on one path deadlocked on each
  other's FIFO).
- IndexDoc indexes only a clean wiki/ or knowledge/ path (callers pass
  caller-supplied paths).
- Rule 9: TestLoadInventoryReturnsErrNotRegularForASymlinkedTypeDir now
  asserts the error; the backfill test says it aborts on a symlinked root.
