fuse: Introduce a new notification type for resend pending requests

When a FUSE daemon panics and failover, we aim to minimize the impact on applications by reusing the existing FUSE connection. During this process, another daemon is employed to preserve the FUSE connection's file descriptor. The new started FUSE Daemon will takeover the fd and continue to provide service. However, it is possible for some inflight requests to be lost and never returned. As a result, applications awaiting replies would become stuck forever. To address this, we can resend these pending requests to the new started FUSE daemon. This patch introduces a new notification type "FUSE_NOTIFY_RESEND", which can trigger resending of the pending requests, ensuring they are properly processed again.
