I propose exposing the std::os::fd::AsRawFd trait method for nix::sys::fanotify::Fanotify struct #2575

Hello everyone! I propose exposing the AsRawFd API for Fanotifystruct.

What does this PR do

This PR forwards the as_raw_fd() on Fanotify instance to the underlying OwnedFd instance. This is necessary to register the struct with Tokio using the AsyncFd generic struct, which allows working with fanotify asynchronously -- instead of blocking the current thread, or manually polling file descriptors, an async function can use the await operator to read events if they are ready, or switch to other task if no events have yet arrived.

Checklist:

  • [yes] I have read CONTRIBUTING.md
  • [yes] I have written necessary tests and rustdoc comments (no rustdoc comments are necessary, as_raw_fd() is already documented by the standard library)
  • [yes] A change log has been added if this PR modifies nix's API
