This series enables the built-in FSMonitor [1] on 'scalar'-registered
repository enlistments. To avoid errors when unregistering an enlistment,
the FSMonitor daemon is explicitly stopped during 'scalar unregister'.

Maintainer's note: this series has a minor conflict with
'vd/scalar-generalize-diagnose'. Please let me know if there's anything else
I can provide (in addition to [2]) that would make resolution easier.


Changes since V1
================

 * Added a patch to fix 'unregister_dir()'s handling of return values > 0
   from 'toggle_maintenance()' and 'add_or_remove_enlistment()'.
 * Added a patch to print error messages in 'register_dir()' and
   'unregister_dir()' indicating which of their internal steps fail.
 * Moved check of 'fsmonitor_ipc__is_supported()' to '[un]register_dir()' to
   avoid calling '(start|stop)_fsmonitor_daemon()' when the feature is not
   supported. Added assertion of 'fsmonitor_ipc__is_supported()' to
   '(start|stop)_fsmonitor_daemon()' to enforce that they are not called
   when the feature is unavailable.
 * Simplified '(start|stop)_fsmonitor_daemon()' implementation. Now, if
   FSMonitor is already running/stopped (respectively), the function simply
   returns 0; otherwise, it runs 'git fsmonitor--daemon (start|stop)' and
   returns the exit code.
   * Note that the "could not (start|stop) the FSMonitor daemon: <err_msg>"
     error messages are no longer printed by
     '(start|stop)_fsmonitor_daemon()'. Instead, "<err_msg>" is printed to
     stderr by swapping 'pipe_command()' out for 'run_git()', and
     '[un]register_dir()' prints the "could not (start|stop) the FSMonitor
     daemon" message.

Thanks

[2] The conflict is a result of both series updating the Scalar roadmap doc.
For reference, my merge resolution (from git diff <merge commit> <merge
commit>^1 <merge commit>^2, where <merge commit>^1 is
'vd/scalar-generalize-diagnose' and <merge commit>^2 is this series) looks
like:

I hadn't looked at this code in a while, so I poked around and
asked some questions that might not even need answering.

Outside of a nit involving a test prereq, this version looks
fine to me.
