These can be generified together by using a concept type to designate
them. This also has the benefit of not making copies of potentially very
large arrays.
When writing VFS, it initally seemed useful to include a function to in-place convert container files into directories in one homogenous directory structure, but re-evaluating it now there have been plenty of chances to use it and there has always been a better way. Removing as it is unused and likely will not be used.
Several classes have a lot of non-trivial members within them, or don't
but likely should have the destructor defaulted in the cpp file for
future-proofing/being more friendly to forward declarations.
Leaving the destructor unspecified allows the compiler to inline the
destruction code all over the place, which is generally undesirable from
a code bloat perspective.
These variables aren't used, which still has an impact, as std::vector
cannot be optimized away by the compiler (it's constructor and
destructor are both non-trivial), so this was just wasting memory.
std::shared_ptr isn't strictly necessary here and is only ever used in
contexts where the object doesn't depend on being shared. This also
makes the interface more flexible, as it's possible to create a
std::shared_ptr from a std::unique_ptr (std::shared_ptr has a
constructor that accepts a std::unique_ptr), but not the other way
around.
Eliminates the need to rebuild some source files if the file_util header
ever changes. This also uncovered some indirect inclusions, which have
also been fixed.
