Subject: fstab-generator: add x-systemd.requires and
 x-systemd.requires-mounts-for

Currently we have no way how to specify dependencies between fstab
entries (or another units) in the /etc/fstab. It means that users are
forced to bypass fstab and write .mount units manually.

The patch introduces new systemd fstab options:

x-systemd.requires=<PATH>

 - to specify dependence an another mount (PATH is translated to unit name)

x-systemd.requires=<UNIT>

 - to specify dependence on arbitrary UNIT

x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=<PATH ...>

 - to specify dependence on another paths, implemented by
   RequiresMountsFor=. The option may be specified more than once.

For example two bind mounts where B depends on A:

 /mnt/test/A    /mnt/test/A     none    bind,defaults
 /mnt/test/A    /mnt/test/B     none    bind,x-systemd.requires=/mnt/test/A

More complex example with overlay FS where one mount point depends on
"low" and "upper" directories:

 /dev/sdc1   /mnt/low    ext4     defaults
 /dev/sdc2   /mnt/high   ext4     defaults
 overlay     /mnt/merged overlay  lowerdir=/mnt/low,upperdir=/mnt/high/data,workdir=/mnt/high/work,x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=/mnt/low,x-systemd.requires-mounts-for=mnt/high
