Proper way to detect real rename about fsnotify HOT 4 OPEN

@aktau I haven't looked into this too much yet. On Linux there is a "cookie" used to tie the RENAME FROM and TO events together, but this isn't currently exposed by fsnotify. I still need to do more research across each platform.

Also, please see #101.

It would be amazing if this could be done in a cross-platform fashion. I know it's not easy though. I've been watching your work (and of course of all other contributors) and I'd just like to say thanks! So I take it that my way is currently the only viable way to reliably detect renames in a folder structure with fsevents?

Also, please see #101.

In fact, I'm using the github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify package, I wasn't sure where to post though. For now, they seem to be equivalent in capabilities but a bit different in API.

Yes, they are fairly similar. I've taken the liberty of removing some (buggy) features, but little has been added. The API isn't final, but it is based on discussions with Go core team members (rsc, minux).

If you would like to open an issue to improve the Rename Op, I would be grateful:

Done, thanks: fsnotify/fsnotify#26
