Optimize communication with file io server
The file module communicates with a file io server with the following protocol for file operations: > {file_request,From,ReplyAs,Request} < {file_reply,ReplyAs,Reply} The ReplyAs value is sent by the client side to match against when receiving the reply and is otherwise left untouched and passed as is by the server. This commit enables receive optimizations by using the reference of the server monitor, changing the protocol to: > {file_request,From,MonitorRef,Request} < {file_reply,MonitorRef,Reply} As the shape of the messages is not changed, backwards compatibility is not a concern.
