scan: resolve a target on unix
The reader could run here but nothing could name a target for it, so the binary
refused every path with Unsupported_Platform. A device or an image is identified
by the signature at the front of it, a directory by the mount table; naming a
filesystem is this layer's job and stays free of every backend.
`choose` now turns down a volume it could not name rather than offering the
walker, which had reported an empty tree as a successful scan of a text file. An
NTFS image needs no elevation either: it is a file, and opening it is the whole
of the permission.
Scanning /dev/nvme0n1p3 end to end: 2,021,620 records in 1.4 s, $Bitmap agreeing
to 0.00003%.

Whether this process can open a raw volume handle.
-No target resolves on this platform yet, so nothing here can reach a volume however

-raw device access is a matter of file permissions rather than a token, so the honest
-answer is whether the device opens.
+Always true by the time it is asked. Unix grants raw reads through permissions on the
