FUSE file systems can optionally support interrupting outstanding
operations. However, the file system does not identify to the kernel at
mount time whether it's capable of doing that. Instead it signals its
noncapability by returning ENOSYS to the first FUSE_INTERRUPT operation it
receives. That's a problem for reliable signal delivery, because the kernel
must choose which thread should get a signal before it knows whether the
FUSE server can handle interrupts. The problem is even worse because the
FUSE protocol allows a file system to simply ignore all FUSE_INTERRUPT
operations.
Fix the signal delivery logic by making interruptibility an opt-in mount
option. This will require a corresponding change to libfuse, but not to
most file systems that link to libfuse.
Bump __FreeBSD_version due to the new mount option.

Enable write clustering in fusefs whenever cache mode is set to writeback
and the "async" mount option is used. With default values for MAXPHYS,
DFLTPHYS, and the fuse max_write mount parameter, that means sequential
writes will now be written 128KB at a time instead of 64KB.
Also, add a regression test for PR 238565, a panic during unmount that
probably affects UFS, ext2, and msdosfs as well as fusefs.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/pull/96
This has been developed during 2 summer of code mandates and being revived
by gnn recently.
The functionality in this commit mirrors entirely content of fusefs-kmod
port, which doesn't need to be installed anymore for -CURRENT setups.
In order to get some sparse technical notes, please refer to:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2012-March/013876.html
or to the project branch:
svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/fuse/
which also contains granular history of changes happened during port
refinements. This commit does not came from the branch reintegration
itself because it seems svn is not behaving properly for this functionaly
at the moment.
