first draft for a simple hooks based custom attribute storage, with a BytesFileSystemStorage POC implementation. Basically: * a dictionary contains maps from which attribute of which entity types are mapped to which custom storage * hooks check for one of these entity type being added/modified/deleted * read is based on the sql generator callback mecanism (used in vcsfile for instance) * all storages have the same basic interface (read, add, update, delete), and should be pluggable in a transparent way (except at migration time when one want to change from a storage to another) * the sample BytesFileSystemStorage: * may store Bytes attributes content of any entity type as file on the file system * is based on one FSPATH rql/sql function and another _fsopen only available in sql * has a dumb file name allocation algorithm
