`fuse-overlayfs` provides rootless overlayfs functionality without depending
on any kernel patch.
Aside from rootless, `fuse-overlayfs` could be potentially used for eliminating
`chown()` calls that happen in userns-remap mode, because `fuse-overlayfs` also
provides shiftfs functionality.
System requirements:
* fuse-overlayfs needs to be installed. Tested with 0.7.6.
* kernel >= 4.18
Unit test: `go test -exec sudo -v ./daemon/graphdriver/fuse-overlayfs`
The implementation is based on Podman's `overlay` driver which supports
both kernel-mode overlayfs and fuse-overlayfs in the single driver instance:
https://github.com/containers/storage/blob/39a8d5ed/drivers/overlay/overlay.go
However, Moby's implementation aims to decouple `fuse-overlayfs` driver from the
kernel-mode driver (`overlay2`) for simplicity.
