Inconsistent namespace packaging approach

[shiviser]

Observation
This package uses the native namespace packaging approach (no init file in fs folder). Also, this package depends on pyfilesystem2 and shares this namespace folder 'fs' with pyfilesystem2.

However, pyfilesystem2 uses the pkg_resources-style namespace approach to declare its namespace folder 'fs' (see fs/init.py).

As a result, this package is inconsistent with the recommendation in pkg_resources-style namespace approach -

If you are creating a new distribution within an existing namespace package that uses this method then it’s recommended to continue using this as the different methods are not cross-compatible and it’s not advisable to try to migrate an existing package.

Problem
In use cases where these two packages are downloaded in seperate directories and both of them are added to the python systempath, the package import does not work due to the aforementioned inconsistency. This is exactly the problem if one uses bazel to manage these external dependencies in a project.

Suggestion
Please use the consistent namespace packaging convention as suggested in the link above.

@althonos also, if this inconsistent namespace packaging is fixed, this issue #13 will not occur.
