9pfs: local: metadata file for the VirtFS root

When using the mapped-file security, credentials are stored in a metadata
directory located in the parent directory. This is okay for all paths with
the notable exception of the root path, since we don't want and probably
can't create a metadata directory above the virtfs directory on the host.

This patch introduces a dedicated metadata file, sitting in the virtfs root
for this purpose. It relies on the fact that the "." name necessarily refers
to the virtfs root.

As for the metadata directory, we don't want the client to see this file.
The current code only cares for readdir() but there are many other places
to fix actually. The filtering logic is hence put in a separate function.

Before:

# ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 May  5 12:49 .
# chown root.root .
chown: changing ownership of '.': Is a directory
# ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 May  5 12:49 .

After:

# ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x. 3 greg greg 4096 May  5 12:49 .
# chown root.root .
# ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 May  5 12:50 .

and from the host:

ls -al .virtfs_metadata_root
-rwx------. 1 greg greg 26 May  5 12:50 .virtfs_metadata_root
$ cat .virtfs_metadata_root
virtfs.uid=0
virtfs.gid=0
