Enhancement request: use i32 as error type for Filesystem #33

@asomers

Description

@asomers

fuse3 currently defines a custom Error type, a wrapper around errno, which implements From<i32>. That is pretty convenient to use for a crate whose native errors are also i32, or whose custom error type can implement Into<fuse3::Errno>. However, it's a problem for a crate whose custom error type comes from a third crate, because Rust's trait impl rules don't allow a crate to implement From or Into to convert between two external types.
Looking at the source, it seems the fuse3::Error type only exists for the sake of a few one-line convenience methods like is_not_exist and new_not_exist. I think the switch could be done with almost no net change in line count. If you agree, I can prepare a PR.
