Memory Leaks: Ensure all C resources get released when done #7

Description

@jemc

Much of the code written so far for this library does not properly clean up resources.

Many of the file-operation actors need to be equipped with a finalizer to get rid of relevant resources. But Savi doesn't yet have finalizers as a language feature, so that work (of developing the finalizer feature and using it properly here) still needs to be done.

This includes:

  • Closing any open file descriptors.
  • Cleaning up INotify watch descriptors.
  • Calling CFRelease on FSEvents resources created/obtained from MacOS Core Foundation features.
  • Surely a lot of other missing details.
