[OISF/outreachy] Issue #3825 - Some questions

[Juliana Fajardini Reichow]

Hi Shivani and all,

I am checking task Optimization 3825: Defining only one basic rust Files
structure <https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/3825>, and I
need some guidance/clarification:

>From what I understood, the idea is to "extract" the bits of code that
define SMBFiles and NFSFiles (from smb/files and from nfs/nfs,
respectively) and that are basically the same, as stated, and create a new
file type, from which both could then implement.

I believe I have identified the common parts. Now, I'm not sure:
- how I should name this type/structure (should it be File, would that be
too simple/confusing?)
- where should I put this new type (in what directory should it go?)
- Once that is done, assuming that it is the correct approach, should I
also change smb/files and nfs/nfs to adapt to that, or should that be left
for a new separate task?

Asking these before I start, so we are on the same page, and to avoid
unnecessary work. :)

Thanks a lot in advance!
