daemon: Replace root_mounted global with intelligence.

We used to maintain a global flag 'root_mounted' which tells us if the
user has mounted something on root (ie. on the sysroot directory).

This flag caused a lot of trouble (eg. RHBZ#599503) because it's hard
to keep the flag updated correctly when the user can do arbitrary
mounts and also use mkmountpoint.

Remove this flag and replace it with a test to see if something is
mounted on *or under* the sysroot.  (It has to be *or under* because
of mkmountpoint and friends).

This also replaces a rather convoluted "have we mounted root yet"
check in the mount* APIs with a simpler check to see if the mountpoint
exists and is an ordinary directory.

New APIs: getxattr and lgetxattr to get single extended attributes.

These APIs are essentially required to work around a problem
with ntfs-3g.  This filesystem (or FUSE?) does not list all
extended attributes of a file when you call listxattr(2).  However
if you know the name of an extended attribute, you can retrieve
it directly using getxattr(2).

The current APIs (getxattrs etc) are simple to use, but they
don't work if we can't list out the extended attributes (ie.
by calling listxattr(2)).

Example using the new APIs on an ntfs-3g filesystem:
