fuse-overlayfs: add plugin system
Add a simple plugin mechanism that will help to expand fuse-overlayfs
functionalities, in particular it allows to load data from a layer on
demand.

A plugin is loaded into fuse-overlayfs using the option:

-o plugins=path/to/plugin.so:path/to/another/plugin.so

A layer can use a plugin with the syntax:

-o lowerdir=//plugin-name/DATA-FOR-THE-PLUGIN/path

Each time a file/directory is looked up, if a plugin is registered for
a layer, the plugin is first notified about the request.

After the callback is invoked, fuse-overlayfs still expects the data
to be accessible at the specified directory.
