NFS open/creat hack
A hack to work around non-POSIX NFS <-> FUSE behavior where it turns
an open(O_EXCL|O_CREAT,0444) into multiple calls that results in
EACCES.

policy: add "most shared path" policies
Like path preserving but walks back the path till a match is found. Should
cover the usecase where someone wants a "less strict" form of path
preservation.

moveonenospc: enhance the feature to allow using a policy
Just like functions you can now set a policy for moveonfreenospc. This
allows for more flexibility.
For backwards compatibility moveonfreenospc=true is converted to
moveonfreenospc=mfs.
minfreespace does apply which is slightly different from original behavior.

allow setting of 'max_pages' (via 'fuse_msg_size')
Linux 4.20 and above allow setting the number of pages per FUSE message
upto 256 (4K * 256 = 1MiB). This can greatly increase read and write
speeds depending on the workload.

remove .fuse_hidden file creation
addresses #521
mergerfs is written using libfuse's high level API. The HLAPI forces a certain
behavior with regard to unlinking or rename overwriting of open files. It
renames the file to .fuse_hiddenXXXXXX and when incoming requests refer
to the unlinked file it will use path based calls and use that path.
This behavior leads to rmdirs failing or some software noticing
the .fuse_hidden files.
This patch changes the HLAPI and removes entirely the .fuse_hidden behavior.
See the README for more.

remove `defaults`, hard code atomic_o_trunc, big_writes, and default_permissions
`defaults` is a value used by all filesystems and isn't passed through to
mergerfs when mounting via the fstab or the mount command. This led
to inconsistent application of options. atomic_o_trunc, big_writes, and
default_permissions should be enabled all the time anyway and splice_*
can lead to issues so they are not always enabled.
