// AtomicWriter handles atomically projecting content for a set of files into
// a target directory.
//
// Note:
//
// 1. AtomicWriter reserves the set of pathnames starting with `..`.
// 2. AtomicWriter offers no concurrency guarantees and must be synchronized
//    by the caller.
//
// The visible files in this volume are symlinks to files in the writer's data
// directory.  Actual files are stored in a hidden timestamped directory which
// is symlinked to by the data directory. The timestamped directory and
// data directory symlink are created in the writer's target dir.  This scheme
// allows the files to be atomically updated by changing the target of the
// data directory symlink.
//
// Consumers of the target directory can monitor the ..data symlink using
// inotify or fanotify to receive events when the content in the volume is
// updated.

// Write does an atomic projection of the given payload into the writer's target
// directory.  Input paths must not begin with '..'.
//
// The Write algorithm is:
//
//  1.  The payload is validated; if the payload is invalid, the function returns
//  2.  The user-visible portion of the volume is walked to determine whether any
//      portion of the payload was deleted and is still present on disk.
//      If the payload is already present on disk and there are no deleted files,
//      the function returns
//  3.  A check is made to determine whether data present in the payload has changed
//  4.  A new timestamped dir is created
//  5.  The payload is written to the new timestamped directory
//  6.  Symlinks and directory for new user-visible files are created (if needed).
//
//      For example consider the files:
//        <target-dir>/podName
//        <target-dir>/user/labels
//        <target-dir>/k8s/annotations
//
//      The user visible files are symbolic links into the internal data directory:
//        <target-dir>/podName         -> ..data/podName
//        <target-dir>/usr/labels      -> ../..data/usr/labels
//        <target-dir>/k8s/annotations -> ../..data/k8s/annotations
//
//      Relative links are created into the data directory for files in subdirectories.
//
//      The data directory itself is a link to a timestamped directory with
//      the real data:
//        <target-dir>/..data          -> ..2016_02_01_15_04_05.12345678/
//  7.  The current timestamped directory is detected by reading the data directory
//      symlink
//  8.  A symlink to the new timestamped directory ..data_tmp is created that will
//      become the new data directory
//  9.  The new data directory symlink is renamed to the data directory; rename is atomic
// 10.  Old paths are removed from the user-visible portion of the target directory
// 11.  The previous timestamped directory is removed, if it exists
