To register a file, end users *must* use AosFS.Register(f).
AosFS.File.Register0 *must not* be called by end users.
Calling File.Register0 directly will lead to several severe problems,
because the file is not added to the list of 'active files' within
AosFS. The race condition when checking for duplicate filenames is also
caused by invoking File.Register0() directly.
