Bindings "filesystem" (#225)

* bindings structure

* missed some renaming

* add back the headers

* path fixes

* need to sleep at night

+# Bindings generator
+
+This folder holds the bindings generators for Constantine.
+
+To create a new build, download install the [Nim programming language](https://nim-lang.org/install.html), navigate to Constantine's root folder and call `nimble bindings`.
+
+Headers will be placed in "include" folder and static and dynamic libraries in "lib"
