Summary: Generalize local file descriptor interfaces

Initial Comment:
Currently, Slythe has a crude sense of the file descriptors available on the local machine; stdin, stdout, and stderr. It really should take the next step in version 0.3 or so and just provide basic file descriptor interfaces for arbitrary file descriptors. This is important for getting real console support as many interfaces are not properly projected to the backend's side.

This would also lay the foundation for a localfile interface which could be used to access the local filesystem in backend scripts. Likely such interfaces will be quite limited due to the bridge construction. However, this being said without study.
