From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz>

Use FS_SAFE for "fuse" fs type, but not for "fuseblk".

FUSE was designed from the beginning to be safe for unprivileged
users. This has also been verified in practice over many years. In
addition unprivileged mounts require the parent mount to be owned by
the user, which is more strict than the current userspace policy.

This will enable future installations to remove the suid-root
fusermount utility.

Don't require the "user_id=" and "group_id=" options for unprivileged
mounts, but if they are present, verify them for sanity.

Disallow the "allow_other" option for unprivileged mounts.
