* 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.
