1. windows: ignore file attributes …

   On Windows a FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED event (i.e. a Write event) is
   triggered on file attribute changes, rather than some dedicates
   ATTRIBUTE_CHANGED event. Looking at the docs, I don't really see a way
   to distinguish between "real" write events and attribute changes. This is
   very odd, but seems to be how the ReadDirectoryChangesW() API works.
   
   The only way I can see to distinguish between the two events is to set
   up two filters: one with a FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES, and one
   without. But that seems overly complex, and no one asked to get Chmod
   events for Windows; it's not really all that interesting on Windows
   anyway.
   
   The problem is that some software (anti-virus, backup software, etc.)
   can issue lots of attribute changes, causing a lot of "fake" Write
   events.
   
   So remove the FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES and sysFSATTRIB flags.
   
   This was adapted from the tilt-dev/fsnotify fork:
   tilt-dev#8
   
   Fixes #487
