snapshot: Fix mounting /.snapshots subvolume and use automounting
Closes: #2085.

- Read the list of snapshots and properly determine the full subvolume name to
be used for mounting the .snapshots subvolume.

- Use systemd .mount units instead of editing fstab. Fstab editing is dangerous
and could result in system not booting properly. systemd units are better suited
for tool based editing while /etc/fstab is recommended for humans.

- Use automount feature provided by systemd using autofs to perform mounting. This
means that the backing filesystem is only accessed and mounted when the mount
point is accessed by a program. Parse errors in the mount/automount file and
incorrect mount parameters are also tolerated well with failure to boot.

Tests:

- On a fresh Debian Bullseye install with btrfs. Install FreedomBox with the
changes, create and delete manual snapshots. Rollback to a snapshot should also
work. /.snapshots should contain all the files inside each of the snapshots.

- After rebooting into a rolled back snapshot, create/delete and restore to a
snapshot should work. /.snapshots should contain all the files inside each of
the snapshots.

- Introduce an error in .mount file such the mount operation will fail. Reboot
the machine. Reboot is successful. /.snapshots is still mounted as autofs.
Trying to access /.snapshots will result in error during mount operation.

- On a vagrant box without changes. Install freedombox and ensure snapshot app
setup has been run. This creates the /etc/fstab entry. Apply the patches.
snapshot app will run and remove the mount line in /etc/fstab and create the
.mount entry. /.snapshots is still mounted but not because of .automount. After
reboot, /.snapshots is mounted with autofs and also with btrfs. Unmounting
/.snapshots and then trying to run 'ls /.snapshots' will perform the mount again.

snapshot: Fix issue with snapshot rollbacks
Closes: #2144.

- '--ambit' seems to a required argument if there is no default subvolume set on
the filesystem. Add it to prevent error during rollback.

- Description is not a required option for rollback (anymore?) and default
descriptions for the two snapshots are more descriptive.

Tests:

- On a fresh vagrant machine, run snapshot rollback with the patch. It fails.
With the patch, rollback succeeds.

- The description created for the rollback is the default one 'rollback backup'
and 'writable copy of #x'.
