69338c3dfb namespace: don't try to remount superblocks
We can't remount the underlying superblocks, if we are inside a user
namespace and running Linux <= 4.17.  We can only change the per-mount
flags (MS_REMOUNT | MS_BIND).

This type of mount() call can only change the per-mount flags, so we
don't have to worry about passing the right string options now.

Fixes #9914 ("Since 1beab8b was merged, systemd has been failing to start
systemd-resolved inside unprivileged containers" ... "Failed to re-mount
'/run/systemd/unit-root/dev' read-only: Operation not permitted").

This makes the code longer and I guess this function is still ugly, sorry.
One obstacle to cleaning it up is the interaction between
`PrivateDevices=yes` and `ReadOnlyPaths=/dev`.  I've added a test for the
existing behaviour, which I think is now the correct behaviour.
