Commit 53ed180 improved mtab processing, however, also introduced bug
in code obtaining mount points. mtab was used by mistake also for
g_unix_mount_points_get implementation, which is obviously wrong and
fstab has to be used instead...

Fix get_mounts_timestamp() to not use a stat'ed mtime for /proc/ files.
Instead, use mount_poller_time if /proc/ watch is running, or otherwise
return a new generated timestamp to always assume mounts-changed, which
is safer than previous behaviour of always assuming mounts-not-changed
(as mtime never changes for /proc/ files when queried from the same
process).
We say it's safer because allows caches depending on:
g_unix_mounts_get(&time_read)
g_unix_mounts_changed_since()
to drop possibly outdated/duplicated values, as that was the case for the
GIO mounts cache used in gio/glocalfile.c which provides mount info for
g_file_query_filesystem_info() call, as described in below referenced bug.
This fix complements related commit bd9e266e11https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787731
The /etc/mtab file is still used by some distributions (e.g. Slackware),
so it has to be monitored instead of /proc/self/mountinfo in order to
avoid races between g_unix_mounts_get and "mounts-changed" signal. The
util-linux is built with --enable-libmount-support-mtab in that case and
mnt_has_regular_mtab is used for checks. Let's use mnt_has_regular_mtab
also to determine which file to monitor.

mnt_table_is_fs_mounted causes unwanted automount requests due to
canonicalization of source and target. It might be replaced by
mnt_table_find_source as per the documentation in order to prevent
the automounts, but it is redundant. All mtab entries should be already
mounted and thus mnt_table_is_fs_mounted result is always true (it
basically checks that the fs from mtab is in mtab). Let's remove
the check at all.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781867
libmnt_context is useless. It contains cache which is useful for searching,
but it isn't used in our case. Let's use mnt_context_parse_mtab instead
directly and the mtab processing will be faster.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781867
It's unnecessary, and only adds visual noise; we have been fairly
inconsistent in the past, but the semi-colon-less version clearly
dominates in the code base.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669355
If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
GLib has g_unix_mount_at (mount_path) already, let's add g_unix_mount_for
(file_path) for whatever path. GLib already contains some private code
for such task. Let's make this code public. This functionality is needed
by GVfs (see Bug 771431) in order to avoid copy-and-pasting.

/proc/self/mountinfo is used to monitor changes of mounts with libmount.
However, GFileMonitor is used currently to monitor this file, which
doesn't work and consequently "changed" signal is never emitted. Special
monitoring needs to be used instead, same as it is used for /proc/mounts.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662946
Use mnt_context_get_mtab instead of using mnt_context_get_table(), since
that's the recommended way of accessing mtab/mountinfo information, and
also because that way the (struct libmnt_table *) will get automatically
deallocated when calling mnt_free_context()
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769238
GUnixMountMonitor was not threadsafe before. It was a global singleton
which emitted signals in the first thread that happened to construct it.
Move it to a per-context singleton model where each GMainContext gets
its own GUnixMountMonitor. Monitor for the changes from the GLib worker
thread and dispatch the results to each context with an active monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
Deprecate g_unix_mount_monitor_set_rate_limit() and turn it into a
no-op.
This function doesn't behave as advertised. It only controls rate
limiting for filesystem-based monitors. It has no impact over reporting
mount changes on Linux, for example, because those are based on polling
for changes in /proc (which doesn't use filesystem monitors). It also
has no impact on Mac OS because a library interface is used there.
This was added in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521946 in
order to be used by HAL, which is effectively dead. udisks no longer
uses this code at all.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742599
This is a singleton, but we have a function called _new() to get it.
What's worse is that the documentation makes no mention of this, and
actually specifically says that a new monitor will be created each time.

Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
Make the options from an /etc/fstab entry available as public API -
this can be used to support options such as
comment=gvfs.name=Foo\040Bar
to e.g. set the name of an fstab mount in the UI to "Foo Bar".

On recent Linux distros /etc/mtab is just a symlink to /proc/mounts
and GFileMonitor does not work there because of how the kernel conveys
that the file changes.

We ignore entries with mountpoint of "swap" and "ignore". Add "none" to
that list, since Debian uses it.
Probably we should move to using our already-existing internal list of
things to ignore, but this patch is more minimally intrusive for now.
