  Record actions on files via the ContentsManager.

  The notebook ContentsManager REST API is used by all frontends to retrieve,
  save, list, delete and perform other actions on notebooks, directories,
  and other files through the UI. This is pluggable - the default acts on
  the file system, but can be replaced with a different ContentsManager
  implementation - to work on S3, Postgres, other object stores, etc.
  The events get recorded regardless of the ContentsManager implementation
  being used.

  Limitations:

  1. This does not record all filesystem access, just the ones that happen
     explicitly via the notebook server's REST API. Users can (and often do)
     trivially access the filesystem in many other ways (such as `open()` calls
     in their code), so this is usually never a complete record.
  2. As with all events recorded by the notebook server, users most likely
     have the ability to modify the code of the notebook server. Unless other
     security measures are in place, these events should be treated as user
     controlled and not used in high security areas.
  3. Events are only recorded when an action succeeds.
