33c448f147 Implement regulator in filesystem driver
This commit refactors base.regulator into the 2.4 interfaces and adds a
filesystem configuration option `maxthreads` to configure the regulator.

By default `maxthreads` is set to 100. This means the FS driver is
limited to 100 concurrent blocking file operations. Any subsequent
operations will block in Go until previous filesystem operations
complete.

This ensures that the registry can never open thousands of simultaneous
threads from os filesystem operations.

Note that `maxthreads` can never be less than 25.

Add test case covering parsable string maxthreads

e4dd3359cc Regulate filesystem driver to max of 100 calls
It's easily possible for a flood of requests to trigger thousands of
concurrent file accesses on the storage driver. Each file I/O call creates
a new OS thread that is not reaped by the Golang runtime. By limiting it
to only 100 at a time we can effectively bound the number of OS threads
in use by the storage driver.
