It allows us to mount each EROFS blob layer (generated by the EROFS
differ) independently, or use the "unpacked" fs/ directories (if
some other differ is used.)
Currently, it's somewhat like the overlay snapshotter, but I tend
to separate the new EROFS logic into a self-contained component,
rather than keeping it tangled in the very beginning.
Existing users who use the overlay snapshotter won't be impacted
at all but they have a chance to use this new snapshotter to
leverage the EROFS filesystem.

The EROFS differ only applies to EROFS layers which are marked by
a special file `.erofslayer` generated by the EROFS snapshotter.
Why it's needed? Since we'd like to parse []mount.Mount directly
without actual mounting and convert OCI layers into EROFS blobs,
`.erofslayer` gives a hint that the active snapshotter supports
the output blob generated by the EROFS differ.
I'd suggest it could be read together with the next commit.
