export/fuse: Add allow-other option

Without the allow_other mount option, no user (not even root) but the
one who started qemu/the storage daemon can access the export.  Allow
users to configure the export such that such accesses are possible.

While allow_other is probably what users want, we cannot make it an
unconditional default, because passing it is only possible (for non-root
users) if the global fuse.conf configuration file allows it.  Thus, the
default is an 'auto' mode, in which we first try with allow_other, and
then fall back to without.

FuseExport.allow_other reports whether allow_other was actually used as
a mount option or not.  Currently, this information is not used, but a
future patch will let this field decide whether e.g. an export's UID and
GID can be changed through chmod.

One notable thing about 'auto' mode is that libfuse may print error
messages directly to stderr, and so may fusermount (which it executes).
Our export code cannot really filter or hide them.  Therefore, if 'auto'
fails its first attempt and has to fall back, fusermount will print an
error message that mounting with allow_other failed.

This behavior necessitates a change to iotest 308, namely we need to
filter out this error message (because if the first attempt at mounting
with allow_other succeeds, there will be no such message).

Furthermore, common.rc's _make_test_img should use allow-other=off for
FUSE exports, because iotests generally do not need to access images
from other users, so allow-other=on or allow-other=auto have no
advantage.  OTOH, allow-other=on will not work on systems where
user_allow_other is disabled, and with allow-other=auto, we get said
error message that we would need to filter out again.  Just disabling
allow-other is simplest.
