[voltgfym] Multiple file files

Create a method by which many files in a filesystem can appear as a single file (concatenated) to another process somewhere else in a filesystem.  Named pipes might be a solution, but we want smart random access (seek) mapping positions in the single file to the various underlying files.

Inspiration was the apt.sources.d directory.

Similar previous idea: File concatenation in constant time.
