linux_session: Make allow_other mount option optional

The `allow_other` mount option typically requires root user permissions
unless configured otherwise on the machine. It would be nice if this was
configurable to allow for unprivileged mounting.

For non-root users to use this option the system must have 'user_allow_other'
set in /etc/fuse.conf.
