registering a new vfs writes vfsMap while callbacks read it from other threads, which trips the runtime concurrent map access check

Guard vfsMap with a mutex
vfsMap is written by newVFS (on RegisterVFS) and read by vfsFromC on every VFS callback, with no synchronization. Registering a VFS on one goroutine while another VFS's callbacks are in flight is a concurrent map read/write, which the Go runtime turns into a hard, unrecoverable crash of the whole process.
We hit this in production under load: connections open databases on many independently-registered VFSes concurrently, and a registration racing an in-flight xAccess brought the process down:
fileMap already has fileMux; vfsMap had nothing.
Fix
Add a sync.RWMutex around vfsMap: write-lock the assignment in newVFS, read-lock the lookup in vfsFromC. Registration is rare and lookups are on the hot path, so RWMutex keeps callbacks contention-free against each other.
