fuse: Fix mount options

Since I actually took a look into how mounting with libfuse works[1], I
now know that the FUSE mount options are not exactly standard mount
system call options.  Specifically:
- We should add "nosuid,nodev,noatime" because that is going to be
  translated into the respective MS_ mount flags; and those flags make
  sense for us.
- We can set rw/ro to make the mount writable or not.  It makes sense to
  set this flag to produce a better error message for read-only exports
  (EROFS instead of EACCES).
  This changes behavior as can be seen in iotest 308: It is no longer
  possible to modify metadata of read-only exports.
  Similarly, in fuse-allow-other, we must now make the export writable
  to use SETATTR.

In addition, in the comment, we can note that the FUSE mount() system
call actually expects some more parameters that we can omit because
fusermount3 (i.e. libfuse) will figure them out by itself:
- fd: /dev/fuse fd
- rootmode: Inode mode of the root node
- user_id/group_id: Mounter's UID/GID

[1] It invokes fusermount3, an SUID libfuse helper program, which parses
    and processes some mount options before actually invoking the
    mount() system call.
