Kernel/Devices: Introduce the LoopDevice device

Browse source 
This device is a block device that allows a user to effectively treat an
Inode as a block device.

The static construction method is given an OpenFileDescription reference
but validates that:
- The description has a valid custody (so it's not some arbitrary file).
  Failing this requirement will yield EINVAL.
- The description custody points to an Inode which is a regular file, as
  we only support (seekable) regular files. Failing this requirement
  will yield ENOTSUP.

LoopDevice can be used to mount a regular file on the filesystem like
other supported types of (physical) block devices.
