Subject: [PATCH 84/86] libmount: add support for "bind,ro"

Now it's necessary to use two mount(8) calls to create a read-only
mount:

  mount /foo /bar -o bind
  mount /bar -o remount,ro,bind

This patch allows to specify "bind,ro" and the remount is done
automatically by libmount by additional mount(2) syscall. It's not
atomic of course.

-Note that behavior of the remount operation depends on the /etc/mtab file. The
-first command stores the 'bind' flag to the /etc/mtab file and the second
-command reads the flag from the file.  If you have a system without the
-/etc/mtab file or if you explicitly define source and target for the remount
-command (then mount(8) does not read /etc/mtab), then you have to use bind flag
-(or option) for the remount command too. For example:
