fsmonitor--daemon: use a cookie file to sync with file system
Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the cookie are observed by the FS listener thread. This helps address the racy nature of file system events by blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any event backlog. This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are only issued with a limited frequency. See the `latency` argument of `FSeventStreamCreate()`. The kernel only signals every `latency` seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval. If we increase the frequency, the system is more likely to drop events. We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.
