Listing a directory using the file system session

[Nobody III]

I have written a file manager for Genode, so that could be useful if you
don't want to use the VFS system. It's part of my work on a desktop
environment, and it's not entirely complete, but it should be fairly usable
still. If you want to use that as a starting point, here's a link:
https://github.com/NobodyIII/genode-desktop-environment

Here's the specific file with the _dir() function:
