VFS updates, readme updates.

Separated vfs file as a specific file. vm file is not always a vfs file.
Updated the README
sys_open was not returning back to client, added that.
Added comments for future vfs additions.

 Can you summarise all this? Why should I use Codezero, again?
 
 Codezero is an operating system that targets embedded systems. It supports the
-most fundamental posix calls and modern features such as demand-paging and has a
-virtual filesystem layer. Different from other posix-like systems, it is based
-on a microkernel design. It has a cleanly separated set of services, it is small

-to be used on embedded platforms. Currently it has little or no users, therefore
-compared to systems with a saturated user base it is possible to tailor it
