Implement the pivot_root(2) syscall wrapper for changing the root filesystem. This utility is commonly used during container initialization and system boot. Features: - Linux/Android support via direct syscall - Graceful error on unsupported platforms - Detailed error messages with errno-specific hints - Non-UTF-8 path support via OsString The implementation delegates all path validation to the kernel, only checking for embedded null bytes which are invalid for C strings.

Implemented
pivot_root, which is a simple wrapper for thepivot_root(2)syscall to enable changing the root filesystem.Only Linux systems (including Android) have the needed syscall. I also tried to include descriptive error handling.
