History
Johannes Schindelin fb71716d2c Introduce the 'usertemp' filesystem type 
* mount.cc (mount_info::from_fstab_line): Support mounting the current
	user's temp folder as /tmp/.  This is particularly useful a feature
	when Cygwin's own files are write-protected.

	* pathnames.xml: document the new usertemp file system type

Detailed explanation:

In the context of Windows, there is a per-user directory for temporary
files, by default specified via the environment variable %TEMP%. Let's
allow to use that directory for our /tmp/ directory.

With this patch, we introduce the special filesystem type "usertemp":
By specifying

	none /tmp usertemp binary,posix=0 0 0

in /etc/fstab, the /tmp/ directory gets auto-mounted to the directory
specified by the %TEMP% variable.

This feature comes handy in particularly in scenarios where the
administrator might want to write-protect the entire Cygwin directory
yet still needs to allow users to write into the /tmp/ directory.
This is the case in the context of Git for Windows, where the
Cygwin (MSys2) root directory lives inside C:\Program Files and hence
/tmp/ would not be writable otherwise.
