[PATCH 1/3] scalar: enable built-in FSMonitor on `register`

<pull.1324.git.1660673269.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Matthew John Cheetham <mjcheetham@outlook.com>

Using the built-in FSMonitor makes many common commands quite a bit faster. So let's teach the `scalar register` command to enable the built-in FSMonitor and kick-start the fsmonitor--daemon process (for convenience).

For simplicity, we only support the built-in FSMonitor (and no external file system monitor such as e.g. Watchman).
