Behaviour notes

This reads /sbin/mount and reports what the system says is mounted, filtered to the mounts Edith recorded plus any FUSE mount whose source reads user@host:/path. A recorded mount that is no longer in the table is listed too rather than hidden, because Edith still means to have it: that is the gone state. STATE is mounted when a stat on the mount point answers within six seconds, stale when the mount is there but does not answer, and gone when it has vanished. The last two are what ed machines mount <machine> repairs. So a machine mounted by hand with sshfs shows up here too, matched to a name by its target, and an entry Edith cannot match to a machine is listed under that target instead. Nothing here dials a machine, so it answers instantly and works with every machine asleep.
