We currently do not pass anything in PREDEFINED and that means
FUSE_USE_VERSION is undefined.
Add that definition so that Doxygen built-in C pre-processor can use
FUSE_USE_VERSION value to find the correct comment to parse.
This commit defines a new capability called `FUSE_CAP_CACHE_SYMLINKS`.
It is off by default but you can now enable it by setting this flag in
in the `want` field of the `fuse_conn_info` structure.
When enabled, the kernel will save symlinks in its page cache,
by making use of the feature introduced in kernel 4.20:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5571f1e65486be025f73fa6aa30fb03725d362a2
On uclibc and MacOS we don't use versioned symbols. Hence,
there's no definition for fuse_session_loop_mt on those cases
and the linker won't be able to resolve calls to fuse_session_loop_mt()

* Add fallocate to list of operations that may omit path.
* earlier versions is 10+ years old.
Document is not obvious how old it is. Add it.
* Update manpage link
copy_file_range was first implemented with copy-based emulation in
glibc 2.27, but the emulation was subsequently removed again because
correct emulation depends on why the application attempted to make a
copy. Therefore, file systems cannot rely on low-level userspace
performing emulation.
Define FUSE_USE_VERSION < 35 to get old ioctl prototype
with int commands; define FUSE_USE_VERSION >= 35 to get
new ioctl prototype with unsigned int commands.
Fixes#463.
Applications may wish to call fuse_log() for unified logging. This way
they don't need to define their own wrappers to invoke the log message
handler function installed by fuse_set_log_func().

Introduce an API for custom log handler functions. This allows libfuse
applications to send messages to syslog(3) or other logging systems.
See include/fuse_log.h for details.
Convert libfuse from fprintf(stderr, ...) to log_fuse(level, ...). Most
messages are error messages with FUSE_LOG_ERR log level. There are also
some debug messages which now use the FUSE_LOG_DEBUG log level.
Note that lib/mount_util.c is used by both libfuse and fusermount3.
Since fusermount3 does not link against libfuse, we cannot call
fuse_log() from lib/mount_util.c. This file will continue to use
fprintf(stderr, ...) until someone figures out how to split it up.

A comment said that fuse_entry_param.generation must be non-zero.
However, I can't find anything in the kernel that requires that, and
real-world file systems don't seem to follow that advice, either.
This constant is not defined in the kernel, so it will be lost when
fuse_kernel.h is not synchronized. Instead, the kernel just passes a
flag value of "1", so for now we also use a literal in userspace.
Instead of the Posix ioctl(2) command, Linux uses its own variant of ioctl()
in which the commands are requested as "unsigned long" and truncated to
32 bits by the fuse kernel module. Transmitting the commands to user space
file systems as "unsigned int" is a workaround for processing ioctl()
commands which do not fit into a signed int.
Add support for the relatively new copy_file_range() syscall. Backend
filesystems can now implement an efficient way of cloning/duplicating
data ranges within files. See 'man 2 copy_file_range' for more details.
The unprivileged option allows to run the FUSE file system process
without privileges by dropping capabilities and preventing them from
being re-acquired via setuid / fscaps etc. To accomplish this,
mount.fuse sets up the `/dev/fuse` file descriptor and mount itself
and passes the file descriptor via the `/dev/fd/%u` mountpoint syntax
to the FUSE file system.
Multiple meson build scripts improvements including:
* Bump meson requirement to 0.40.1 (0.40 already required)
* Declare a dependency object for main library
* Stop using add_global_arguments()
* Various minor style fixes
