b55ebba4ed add tagging branches RW/RO/NW
This allows users to tag a branch as readonly or not for writing regardless
of how the filesystem is mounted. Should simplify deployments and offer
more flexibility.

93f7d7d927 add link_cow feature
When enabled if a regular file is opened which has a link count > 1 it will
copy the file to a temporary file and rename over the original. Effectively
breaking the link. This behavior is similar to cow-shell and other LD_PRELOAD
based "CoW" solutions.

Makefile: option for building with system libfuse
Add INTERNAL_FUSE variable to control linking against
bundled libfuse vs external/system libfuse.
If external libfuse is requested,
`pkg-config` is used to obtain CFLAGS/LIBS/LDFLAGS and
to check that the provided external libfuse is >= 2.9.7.

This might hopefully get mergerfs closer to inclusion into distros.

c8fa51c81a support setting of inodes (using use_ino option)
creates a 64bit inode value from the underlying device value + original inode

final_ino = orig_ino | (dev << 32)

not perfect but given few filesystems use 64bit inodes nor is st_dev more than 16bit usually it should be fine
