fusefrontend: drop xattr user namespace restriction
Adding flags allows to use inomap in reverse mode,
replacing the clunky inoBaseDirIV/inoBaseNameFile
logic that causes problems with high underlying
inode numbers ( https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/457 )
Microbenchmarks (values below) show that the "SingleDev"
case is now much slower due to an extra map lookup,
but this has no visible effects in ./test.bash results,
so there was no time spent optimizing the case further.
$ go test -bench=.

goarch: amd64

The case of a git repo without any tags used to fail
with:
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
Now we continue, using "[no_tags_found]" as the
version string.
The comment still mentioned CBC, which has been removed
a long time ago.
The test definition can be rewritten using slice literals,
saving sume stuttering.
We used to prefer openssl in this situation, which
used to make sense, but now Go gained an optimized
assembly implementation for aes-gcm on arm64 with
aes instructions:

and has go version and arch information, which is important
when comparing results.
From https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoArm :
In cross compilation situations, it is recommended
that you always set an appropriate GOARM value
along with GOARCH.
The value seems to default to GOARM=5 if not set
during cross-compilation.
We used to restrict setting xattrs to the "user."
namespace. I don't see a real reason for this
anymore, and it causes trouble for users who are using
acls.
Tests will be added in the next commit.

Now that I have discovered golang.org/x/sys/cpu and that Go
versions below 1.6 are uncommon, there was not much useful
code left in prefer_openssl.
Merge the remains into stupidgcm.
Use exec.LookPath() to find fusermount in the user's PATH
first. Fall back to /bin/fusermount for the case that PATH
is not set, like go-fuse does.
Fixes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/448
fusermount3 (i.e. fusermount from libfuse 3.x) has dropped
the `nonempty` option.
Detect fusermount3 and don't add `nonempty` in this case.
Fixes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/440
Move the statusTxtContent to fix this confusing error
when running `go get github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/...`:
$ go get github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/...
# github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/tests/example_filesystems
tests/example_filesystems/example_test_helpers.go:22:16: undefined: statusTxtContent
tests/example_filesystems/example_test_helpers.go:75:16: undefined: statusTxtContent
Feedback received during the recent Go user group. If you haven't
used FUSE before, you don't know how to unmount, and it was not
described in the man page!
As for the options, there are many, and new users are intimidated
by it. State clearly that defaults are fine.
Error from Travis CI was:
+GOOS=darwin
+GOARCH=amd64
+go build -tags without_openssl
# github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/internal/fusefrontend
internal/fusefrontend/fs.go:88:45: cannot use st.Dev (type int32) as type uint64 in argument to openfiletable.NewInumMap
Add uint64 to fix it.
