vmount module: removed current impl. of the virtual mount system client.

the current design of the virtual mount system turned out to be less
than ideal in terms of both simplicity and robustness. since its
importance seems to be rather marginal at the moment, it is better to
first remove it in its entirety, and then, given sufficient interest,
re-implement and integrate it into the system.

-/**
- *  vmount api:
- *  -----------
- *  this header provides an api that can be used to
- *  implement a virtual mount system.  note, however,
- *  that this library does not (and should not)
- *  provide the server-side implementation of the
- *  system, but only the client-side functionality.
- *  in the larger-scale midipix project, for
- *  instance, a session-wide virtual mount system
- *  is provided by the subsystem ntctty; if you
- *  are writing a free-standing midipix application,
- *  then you may either use the interfaces provided
- *  by ntctty, or roll your own.

-/** virtual mount system: concepts
- *  ------------------------------
- *  elements of the virtual mount system are exposed to the
- *  client in terms of offsets from the virtual mount system
- *  base address, rather than absolute pointers.  when using
- *  a shared memory section, this allows each client to map
- *  the virtual mount system at an address that is independent
- *  of all other clients. most importantly, clients are only
- *  granted read-only access to the section, and it is hence
- *  impossible for a malformed client to trash the contents
- *  of the virtual mount system.
- *
- *  to locate information regarding a particular mount point,
- *  the client traverses the virtual mount system using several
- *  numeric keys.
- *
- *  the server_key member of the virtual mount system structure,
- *  in combination with the node-specific server keys, allow clients
- *  to efficiently use a single ref_counter server call at the end of
- *  the path resolution process.
- *
- *  in the larger-scale midipix project, the above call fails only when
- *  a referenced mount point has in the meantime become invalid; in other
- *  words, the call shall succeed even if the queried mount point is
- *  no longer found at the top of the target directory stack.
