main: Add '-devrandom' commandline option
...
Allows to use /dev/random for generating the master key instead of the
default Go implementation. When the kernel random generator has been
properly initialized both are considered equally secure, however:
* Versions of Go prior to 1.9 just fall back to /dev/urandom if the
getrandom() syscall would be blocking (Go Bug #19274 )
* Kernel versions prior to 3.17 do not support getrandom(), and there
is no check if the random generator has been properly initialized
before reading from /dev/urandom
This is especially useful for embedded hardware with low-entroy. Please
note that generation of the master key might block indefinitely if the
kernel cannot harvest enough entropy.

main: add "-sharedstorage" flag
...
At the moment, it does two things:
1. Disable stat() caching so changes to the backing storage show up
immediately.
2. Disable hard link tracking, as the inode numbers on the backing
storage are not stable when files are deleted and re-created behind
our back. This would otherwise produce strange "file does not exist"
and other errors.

but they should also be listed in the man page.
Also fix the rendering of "[-o COMMA-SEPARATED-OPTIONS]", where
the square brackets where interpreted as something. Escape all
square brackets to be safe.

Don't cap GOMAXPROCS at 4.
...
Before Go 1.5, GOMAXPROCS defaulted to 1, hence it made
sense to unconditionally increase it to 4.
But since Go 1.5, GOMAXPROCS defaults to the number of cores,
so don't keep it from increasing above 4.
Also, update the performance numbers.

Add -forcedecode
...
Force decode of encrypted files even if the integrity check fails, instead of
failing with an IO error. Warning messages are still printed to syslog if corrupted
files are encountered.
It can be useful to recover files from disks with bad sectors or other corrupted
media.

main, fusefrontend: add "-noprealloc" option

Preallocation is very slow on hdds that run btrfs. Give the
user the option to disable it. This greatly speeds up small file
operations but reduces the robustness against out-of-space errors.
Also add the option to the man page.
