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.

hcsshim recently [updated](microsoft/hcsshim@1d406d0) the interface of APIs that are used
for importing OCI layers. It now expects that the CimFS snapshotter mounts contain the
full cim paths for parent layers. This change updates the cimfs differ & snapshotter to
use that new interface.
