Persist link(ed)-files

[mhoran]

It should be possible to persist link-files as of iOS 13. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/view_controllers/providing_access_to_directories?language=objc:

Your app can even save a bookmark for this URL, letting it access the directory the next time it launches.
There is sample code for this scenario.

This is implemented in iSH, where mount persists across app termination and restart.

Yes it is. And now is the perfect time to finally do this. Mounting the new remote provider makes use of the same functions. I had it implemented to automatically mount them in a remote, but it makes more sense to make it selectable and we can make other apps part of it too. I’m pushing the next build on TF today. We should have this functionality and cut a release version next week!

This is now supported in 18.1.0 build 963!

Works great, thanks!
