   This may need a rethink; while the original intent was to mirror the 
[fs](https://fs.r-lib.org/reference/index.html) API, given we have different 
parameters for the functions here and want to just create thin wrappers to the 
Arrow Filesystem API instead of the extra work of mapping functions to their 
equivalents, perhaps the differences could create confusion and we'd be better 
off with our own API instead?
   
   Perhaps for simplicity we just mirror the Arrow C++ API names, e.g. the 
wrapper for `bucket$GetFileInfo(paths)` is just called `fs_get_file_info()`.  
We still have the acronym "fs" there, but I think that's reasonable given it's 
short for FileSystem and is distinct from the `fs` package API.
