v0.2.8

• lib: add usbHsFsGetPhysicalDeviceCount(), which returns the number of physical UMS devices currently connected to the console with at least one underlying filesystem mounted as a virtual device.
• fs-libs:
  • Update FatFs to R0.15 w/patch2.
    • Furthermore, FatFs is now modified to check a runtime read-only flag for any mounted filesystems, making it possible to use the UsbHsFsMountFlags_ReadOnly mount flag on FAT volumes for write-free access.
  • Update NTFS-3G to 2022.10.3.
  • Update lwext4 to 58bcf89a121b72d4fb66334f1693d3b30e4cb9c5 with cherrypicked patches.
  • Improve Makefile scripts for both NTFS-3G and lwext4 by checking if makepkg and (dkp-)pacman binaries are actually available, as well as automatically removing pkg-config if its available and installing dkp-toolchain-vars as part of the required dependencies.

A note to all developers using the GPL-licensed version of the library: update the NTFS-3G and lwext4 portlibs by running make fs-libs in your libusbhsfs clone before building your project.
