libmount: don't support /etc/mtab by default
The file mtab is evil and already unused by mainstream distributions. Now libmount is able to detect mtab->/proc/mounts and use /proc/self/mountinfo if necessary. This heuristic seems overkill in many cases. It's also dangerous on systems where mountinfo is strongly required (systemd based distros). This patch #ifdefs mtab code and forces libmount to always use /proc/self/mountinfo. The new configure option --enable-libmount-support-mtab is necessary to enable old behavior to support mtab.
