<title>main: Add '-devrandom' commandline option</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3c777d5eaa682d878c638192311e52f9c204294</id>

Allows to use /dev/random for generating the master key instead of the
default Go implementation. When the kernel random generator has been
properly initialized both are considered equally secure, however:

* Versions of Go prior to 1.9 just fall back to /dev/urandom if the
  getrandom() syscall would be blocking (Go Bug #19274)

* Kernel versions prior to 3.17 do not support getrandom(), and there
  is no check if the random generator has been properly initialized
  before reading from /dev/urandom

This is especially useful for embedded hardware with low-entroy. Please
note that generation of the master key might block indefinitely if the
kernel cannot harvest enough entropy.

<title>main: add "-sharedstorage" flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e36a0ebf189a826aaa63909c5518c16356f5f903</id>

At the moment, it does two things:

1. Disable stat() caching so changes to the backing storage show up
   immediately.
2. Disable hard link tracking, as the inode numbers on the backing
   storage are not stable when files are deleted and re-created behind
   our back. This would otherwise produce strange "file does not exist"
   and other errors.

...if the filesystem was created with that option (or reverse
mode).
