Empty path components don't make sense for most commands and may cause
undefined behavior, depending on the backend.
Also, the walk request described in the 9P spec [1] clearly shows that
the client is supposed to send individual path components: the official
linux client never sends portions of path containing the / character for
example.
Moreover, the 9P spec [2] also states that a system can decide to restrict
the set of supported characters used in path components, with an explicit
mention "to remove slashes from name components".
This patch introduces a new name_is_illegal() helper that checks the
names sent by the client are not empty and don't contain unwanted chars.
Since 9pfs is only supported on linux hosts, only the / character is
checked at the moment. When support for other hosts (AKA. win32) is added,
other chars may need to be blacklisted as well.
If a client sends an illegal path component, the request will fail and
ENOENT is returned to the client.
