mnt_idmapping: add vfs{g,u}id_t
Introduces new vfs{g,u}id_t types. Similar to k{g,u}id_t the new types are just simple wrapper structs around regular {g,u}id_t types. They allows to establish a type safety boundary between {g,u}ids on idmapped mounts and {g,u}ids as they are represented in filesystems themselves. A vfs{g,u}id_t is always created from a k{g,u}id_t, never directly from a {g,u}id_t as idmapped mounts remap a given {g,u}id according to the mount's idmapping. This is expressed in the VFS{G,U}IDT_INIT() macros. A vfs{g,u}id_t may be used as a k{g,u}id_t via AS_K{G,U}IDT(). This often happens when we need to check whether a {g,u}id mapped according to an idmapped mount is identical to a given k{g,u}id_t. For an example, see vfsgid_in_group_p() which determines whether the value of vfsgid_t matches the value of any of the caller's groups. Similar logic is expressed in the k{g,u}id_eq_vfs{g,u}id(). The from_vfs{g,u}id() helpers map a given vfs{g,u}id_t from the mount's idmapping into the filesystem idmapping. They make it possible to update a filesystem object such as inode->i_{g,u}id with the correct value. This makes it harder to accidently write a wrong {g,u}id anwywhere. The vfs{g,u}id_has_fsmapping() helpers check whether a given vfs{g,u}id_t can be mapped into the filesystem idmapping. All new helpers are nops on non-idmapped mounts. I've done work on this roughly 7 months ago but dropped it to focus on the testsuite. Linus brought this up independently just last week and it's time to move this along (see [1]).
