findmnt: add --tree to allow to enable tree output for --mtab
The --mtab output is merge from kernel and utab on all modern systems (without classic /etc/mtab). It means we have all necessary information to generate tree output. For the backward compatibility --mtab is the list by default, the new option --tree allows to override the default and enable tree always when the table contains child-parent relations.
