mount: add --enable-libmount-mount

This patch allows to link mount.nfs with libmount from util-linux >=
v2.19. The new libmount based code is enabled by CONFIG_LIBMOUNT and
is stored in mount_libmount.c. The old code is not affected by this
change.

The libmount does not have officially stable API yet, so the
--enable-libmount-mount is marked as experimental in the configure
help output.

The ./configure option is the same as we use in util-linux to enable
support for libmount in mount(8).

The addr= (and some other options necessary for remount/umount) are
stored to /etc/mtab or to /dev/.mount/utab. The utab file is *private*
libmount file. It's possible that some mount options (for example
user=) will be moved to kernel, so the utab will not be necessary.

About libmount:

  * supports systems without and with regular /etc/mtab
  * does not store VFS and FS mount options in userspace
  * manages user= option and evaluate permissions
  * parses VFS mount options and generate MS_* flags
  * parses /etc/{fstab,mtab}, /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mountinfo
  * long-term goal is to use the same code in all mount.<type> helpers

Note, use

   LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=0xffff mount.nfs foo:/path /path

to debug the library.

On systems with util-linux v2.19 the findmnt(8) command uses libmount
to list all/selected mount points:

   $ findmnt /path
   $ findmnt --mtab /path

the --mtab appends userspace mount options (e.g. user=) to the output.
