In our asyncio FSes, we use the term FileListEntry for the package of information you receive from a cloud object store list operation. We reserve the term FileStatus for the metadata you get about a blob without a list operation. A major difference is that FLEs know if they refer to files or folders. In contrast, a FileStatus knows that it is a file but does not know if a directory with the same name exists.

To be abundantly clear: this is strictly a rename.

Originally I had some changes in Python, but I've backed them out.
