This PR is mostly for discussion as I draft this code
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Recently I have come into Android/iOS emulation and I have identified shortcomings with the current VFS, particularly with fstatat and similar syscalls which fall back onto the physical filesystem.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'm looking into using PyFilesystem2 to fully replace the fs_mapper - one very neat advantage of this is having an overlay rootfs while being able to adapt Qiling to parse Android images (with APEX support) or Apple read-only filesystems.
