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.

The sqlfs filesystem implements a POSIX style file system on top of an SQLite
database. It allows applications to have access to a full read/write
file system in a single file, complete with its own file hierarchy and name
space. This is useful for applications which needs structured storage, such
as embedding documents within documents, or management of configuration
data or preferences.
