The goal is to prevent a name collision with the expected mount/umount
function signatures, if we decide one day to allow any application
using those to work on MINIX.
At this moment the caller has to start the required services, but if we
implement that logic inside the mount/unmout function, this would allow
any application to call those function successfully.
By renaming those now, we prevent a possible ABI break in the future.

- pass in file system type through mount(2), and return this type in
statvfs structures as generated by [f]statvfs(2);
- align mount flags field with NetBSD's, splitting out service flags
which are not to be passed to VFS;
- remove limitation of mount ABI to 16-byte labels, so that labels
can be made larger in the future;
- introduce new m11 message union type for mount(2) as side effect.

This is a security measure. We may want to bring back user access to
mounting and formatting media in the future, but this should be done
only once we are sure that this is safe from a security perspective.
* Display an error message upon failure to mount a device.
* Handle a special case when the source device is "none"
* pass the mount options stored in fourth field of fstab
to mount(3).
The rc script manually parses /etc/fstab to mount all file systems.
To do that it needs /bin/sed which does not exist anymore. mount(8)
now supports the -a flag which causes it to mount all file systems
listed in /etc/fstab except for '/'. File systems marked with 'noauto'
are skipped.
Import libpuffs and our port of libpuffs. The port was done as part of
GSoC 2011 FUSE project, done by Evgeniy Ivanov. The librefuse import
did not require any porting efforts. Libpuffs has been modified to
understand our VFS-FS protocol and translate between that and PUFFS. As
an example that it works, fuse-ntfs-3g from pkgsrc can be compiled and
used to mount ntfs partitions:
mount -t ntfs-3g <device> <mountpoint>
FUSE only works with the asynchronous version of VFS. See <docs/UPDATING> on
how to run AVFS.
This patch further includes some changes to mount(1) and mount(2) so it's
possible to use file systems provided by pkgsrc (note: manual modifications
to /etc/system.conf are still needed. There has been made an exception for
fuse-ntfs-3g, so it already as an entry).
