mount -o remount Support #1629

Description

@thebeanogamer

Tell us more about this new feature.

It would be really useful if mountpoint-s3 supported mount -o remount. This would allow for updating an existing mount to the new options in /etc/fstab without needing to explicitly unmount and remount it.

Currently if you try to mount -o remount an S3 mount, you get an unrecognised argument error. Notably this means that Linux is expecting the application to parse /etc/fstab itself to learn what options it should use, something that I don't think mountpoint-s3 currently has to do.

Many configuration management tools rely on this behaviour being available. For example, you need to explicitly set remounts => false in Puppet to tell it that the filesystem doesn't support being remounted.

Thanks for building such a useful tool!
