It is possible to store an own FileSystem object in the platform handler, but it requires to update 80% of GDBRemoteCommunicationServerCommon.cpp and implement some behavior switch in inherited classes.

I tried to minimize changes.  I have added the new FileSystem::InitializePerThread() which is used only in GDBRemoteCommunicationServerPlatform and its base clases in case of multithreading. All other code uses the same FileSystem, nothing changed. FileSystem::InitializePerThread() uses the CWD of the app. So the behavior for the thread is the same as for a forked child process.

I don't see any other threads where FileSystem is used. `lldb-server platform` creates only one additional thread to monitor a child process. But it does not use any file system operations. 

Anyway if FileSystem::InitializePerThread() was not called, any new thread uses the common app's FileSystem. It is safe.
