Problem/Motivation

In #2244513: Move the unmanaged file APIs to the file_system service (file.inc) We are moving file operations out of file.inc and into the file_system, service. However, most of the file operations are low-level and could be replaced by a 3rd-party library such as symfony/filesystem or league/flysystem.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Use a 3rd-party library.

Remaining tasks

Decide if this should be done. If so, select a library.

User interface changes

Introduced terminology

API changes

Data model changes

+1 on the idea, but while we worked on that other issue, I also realized that it won't be easy I think. Some of the methods can likely be moved quite easily but a lot of our low-level methods in FileSystem rely on even lower-level functions/methods related to our stream wrappers.. normalizing them, splitting up and so on.
