[Feature Request] Virtual File System with on-demand file loading

## Background MEGAsync is a sync client, which means the local and cloud storage should match. If I want to sync 2T files in cloud, then I need 2T storage in local, which is not convenient. Compared to Google Drive, they have two types of client app: `Backup & Sync`, and `Google File Stream`. Currently, MEGAsync is an alternative to `Google Backup & Sync`, but not `Google File Stream`. ## Expected to see I think we should have a new app similar to `Google File Stream`, which mounts a virtual disk via FUSE driver. All files on the cloud are available in that virtual drive, and files are downloaded only if user opens it or chooses `available offline`. Incremental uploading is triggered only if the file is modified. Microsoft OneDrive have similar feature too. The advantage of this feature is obvious, I just don't understand why there is no such app for MEGA. This is a main blocker for me to migrate from Google Drive. The new app can completely replace MEGAsync.
