wcfs: Add 'allowother' flag to improve support for multi-user deployments
By default, FUSE prohibits file access [1] by users other than the one that mounted the file system. This is a security feature. In order to use WCFS in multi-user deployments, where other users need to access WCFS, we therefore need to explicitly set the 'allow_other' FUSE option. This patch allows setting this option with a new WCFS flag. Besides setting the flag, it's necessary to add 'user_allow_other' to '/etc/fuse.conf'. Otherwise the flag is effectless. [1] See 'allow_other' option at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fuse.html
