Previously, for VFS shares, the backend filesystem was not always mounted. Now it's always present inside /mnt. Signed-off-by: Xavi Hernandez <[email protected]>

This PR makes it possible to directly access the backend filesystem from the client machines bypassing Samba layer.
This is exclusively created for testing purposes since bypassing Samba will most probably cause problems (multiprotocol access is not supported yet), but it will simplify the implementation of some tests.
The backend filesystems are mounted inside /mnt/backends/, in a subdirectory with the same name as the samba share.
This is currently implemented using SSHFS, which doesn't support extended attributes, so there may be limitations on what can be done directly on the backend. If needed, this can be improved in the future by using an NFSv4 mount instead of SSHFS.
