Now that the mount manager is integrated & seems to be working well, we should look at allowing the administrator to mount snapshot sets at an arbitrary path.
There are some conditions to this:
- We won't necessarily be able to discover them (if they are in a different namespace)
- The admin owns the mount root; they are responsible for permissions
But beyond that this should be reasonably straightforward and has applications like mounting snapshot sets for a backup tool to trawl, or making data available for users to access (without weakening the default 0700 permissions on /run/snapm/mounts - things are "root only" by default for good reason.
