I get why you want this, but consider this: someone adds a another
`new` function, but forgets to call `register_filesystem`. They have
no indication except for this comment in the `Drop` impl, that they
are doing something wrong.

I took a look at the implement ion of `unregister_filesystem` and
found that you can pass an unregistered filesystem, in that case
the function just returns an error. I think the only safety
requirement of `unregister_filesystem` is that if the supplied
pointer is a registered filesystem, the pointee is valid.
