Dropped support for writeback caching
As of kernel 4.14, the FUSE module's + writeback implementation is not compatible with network filesystems, and there are no imminent plans to change that. For more details, see https://marc.info/?l=fuse-devel&m=150592103107662&w=2 or As a consequence, the -o unreliable_append option has become obsolete as well. Fixes: #93 Fixes: #88 Fixes: #81

-o password_stdin
read password from stdin (only for pam_mount!)
--o writeback_cache=BOOL
- Enables (*yes*) or disables (*no*) the FUSE writeback cache. When
- writeback caching is enabled, write operations are not immediately
- sent to the SSH server but first collected and merged locally. This
- can significantly improve performance. However, if the file is
- changed on the server while there are unsent changes on the client,
- data corruption is likely to result.

--o unreliable_append
- When writeback caching is enabled, SSHFS cannot reliably support
- the ``O_APPEND`` open flag and thus signals an error on open. To
- enable support for unreliable ``O_APPEND`` (which may overwrite
- data if the file changes on the server at a bad time), mount the
- file system with ``-o unreliable_append``.

-o dir_cache=BOOL
Enables (*yes*) or disables (*no*) the SSHFS directory cache. The
directory cache holds the names of directory entries. Enabling it
