Many file systems use a copy&paste implementation
of dirent to on-disk file type conversions.

Create a common implementation to be used by file systems
with some useful conversion helpers to reduce open coded
file type conversions in file system code.

Original patch written by Amir Goldstein.

v3:
- Rebased against Linux 4.19 by Phillip Potter
- Added SPDX tag to new include/linux/file_type.h
- Added include/linux/file_type.h to MAINTAINERS

v2:
- s/DT_MASK/S_DT_MASK to fix redefinition in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h
- Explicit initialization of fs_dtype_by_ftype[] using [FT_*] = DT_*

v1:
- Initial implementation
