Allow FUSE support to be used directly through the API.
This is the second commit.
In order to make this usable from guestfish, we have to
also bind the events API in guestfish. This is the first
commit.
There's not really enough information here to evaluate the proposed
changes. Can you give an example of what you're trying to do?
In general, though, this feels wrong for a couple of reasons. Firstly, a
callback mechanism implemented with shell scripts is simply hideous.
Imagine trying to use that from another language.
Secondly, mounting filesystems is not the business of the guestfs api,
it's the business of FUSE. I have't actually checked the libfuse API,
but this seems like a function which makes much more sense in that context.
