[physfs] Multiple contexts in one process

[Sherief Farouk]

That's how this branch currently implements it - so far everything is
backward compatible, I was just surprised by Ryan's comment and was
wondering whether he'd ever consider a non-backwards-compatible future
path. I currently have no plans to suggest changes that break backwards
compatibility - if it comes to that I think a fork would be better. I'm
curious to hear whether you have a use case for this feature.
