mount: add support for mtab "uhelper" option
The helper is an external /sbin/umount.<suffix> program where the
suffix is a value from the uhelper= option from /etc/mtab.
The uhelper (unprivileged umount helper) is possible to used when
non-root user wants to umount a mountpoint which is not defined in the
/etc/fstab file (e.g devices mounted by HAL).
This option is already supported by HAL upstream.
