largefiles: remove wrong comment on standin matcher and code for creating dirs

The existence of these directories could not be relied on anyway and all
dependencies on them should have been removed.

  Protocol between inotify clients and server:

  Client sending query:
  1) send protocol version number
  2) send query type (string, 4 letters long)
  3) send query parameters:
     - For STAT, N+1 \0-separated strings:
        1) N different names that need checking
        2) 1 string containing all the status types to match
     - No parameter needed for DBUG

  Server sending query answer:
  1) send protocol version number
  2) send query type
  3) send struct.pack'ed headers describing the length of the content:
      e.g. for STAT, receive 9 integers describing the length of the
      9 \0-separated string lists to be read:
       * one file list for each lmar!?ic status type
       * one list containing the directories visited during lookup
