Create a separate 9P client interface that can be used outside the VFS

And what exact users would that be? We have a huge dislike for putting
abstractions in just for the abstractions sake, so if you want this
merged you'd better present a highly useful client to that interface.
Also the non-filesystem interface code shouldn't live in fs/ but
rather in net/9p/
