erofs: add file-backed mount support

Browse Source 
It actually has been around for years: For containers and other sandbox
use cases, there will be thousands (and even more) of authenticated
(sub)images running on the same host, unlike OS images.

Of course, all scenarios can use the same EROFS on-disk format, but
bdev-backed mounts just work well for OS images since golden data is
dumped into real block devices.  However, it's somewhat hard for
container runtimes to manage and isolate so many unnecessary virtual
block devices safely and efficiently [1]: they just look like a burden
to orchestrators and file-backed mounts are preferred indeed.  There
were already enough attempts such as Incremental FS, the original
ComposeFS and PuzzleFS acting in the same way for immutable fses.  As
for current EROFS users, ComposeFS, containerd and Android APEXs will
be directly benefited from it.

On the other hand, previous experimental feature "erofs over fscache"
was once also intended to provide a similar solution (inspired by
Incremental FS discussion [2]), but the following facts show file-backed
mounts will be a better approach:
 - Fscache infrastructure has recently been moved into new Netfslib
   which is an unexpected dependency to EROFS really, although it
   originally claims "it could be used for caching other things such as
   ISO9660 filesystems too." [3]

 - It takes an unexpectedly long time to upstream Fscache/Cachefiles
   enhancements.  For example, the failover feature took more than
   one year, and the deamonless feature is still far behind now;

 - Ongoing HSM "fanotify pre-content hooks" [4] together with this will
   perfectly supersede "erofs over fscache" in a simpler way since
   developers (mainly containerd folks) could leverage their existing
   caching mechanism entirely in userspace instead of strictly following
   the predefined in-kernel caching tree hierarchy.

After "fanotify pre-content hooks" lands upstream to provide the same
functionality, "erofs over fscache" will be removed then (as an EROFS
internal improvement and EROFS will not have to bother with on-demand
fetching and/or caching improvements anymore.)

This allows EROFS to use filesystem image files directly, without
the intercession of loopback block devices or likewise. It is
particularly useful for container images with numerous blobs and
other sandboxes, where loop devices behave intricately. It can also
be used to simplify error-prone lifetime management of unnecessary
virtual block devices.
Note that this feature, along with ongoing fanotify pre-content
hooks, will eventually replace "EROFS over fscache."
