some things about the announce-submounts option that might be worthwhile
to consider:
- does it hurt to set announce-submounts if there are none?
- it sounds like not setting it if there are any is dangerous

why don't we always set it? "announce-submounts" is also a really weird
name if we extend this to managed bind-mounts for containers (which I'd
very much like to do), if we keep it it should be a flag denoting that
this directory contains further mountpoints (which means it
requires/should default to announce-submounts for virtiofsd, and
recursive bind mounting for LXC)?

stray ')' in the error message

this is called below in assert_valid_map_list without filtering entries
so that just those for the current node are considered..

so these checks don't make sense.. if the directory has to exist on all
nodes, then the per-node mappings could just be dropped entirely ;)
