3ef4847434 Added remove step in tests to force rebuild
Found by user iamscottmoyers, this was an interesting bug with the test
system. If the new test.c file is generated fast enough, it may not have
a new timestamp and not get recompiled.

To fix, we can remove the specific files that need to be rebuilt (lfs and
test.o).

8a674524fc Added full dir list and rudimentary block allocator
In writing the initial allocator, I ran into the rather
difficult problem of trying to iterate through the entire
filesystem cheaply and with only constant memory consumption
(which prohibits recursive functions).

The solution was to simply thread all directory blocks onto a
massive linked-list that spans the entire filesystem.

With the linked-list it was easy to create a traverse function
for all blocks in use on the filesystem (which has potential
for other utility), and add the rudimentary block allocator
using a bit-vector.

While the linked-list may add complexity (especially where
needing to maintain atomic operations), the linked-list helps
simplify what is currently the most expensive operation in
the filesystem, with no cost to space (the linked-list can
reuse the pointers used for chained directory blocks).

ca01b72a35 Added path iteration and chained directories
All path iteration all goes through the lfs_dir_find function,
which manages the syntax of paths and updates the path pointer
to just the name stored in the dir entry.

Also added directory chaining, which allows more than one block
per directory. This is a simple linked list.
