Add test_syncfs.c as posted in Jimmy Zuber's v3 submission. The test talks the raw FUSE protocol over /dev/fuse, so it can choose whether to advertise FUSE_HAS_SYNCFS and directly observe whether the kernel forwards a FUSE_SYNCFS request. It covers three cases: T1: host-root mount, server sets FUSE_HAS_SYNCFS -> FUSE_SYNCFS must reach the server. T2: host-root mount, server does not opt in -> FUSE_SYNCFS must not be sent (back-compat). T3: server opts in but opened /dev/fuse without CAP_SYS_ADMIN while still in the initial user namespace -> FUSE_SYNCFS must be withheld.

Commit a6ca1a573e1f ("selftests/fuse: add test for FUSE_HAS_SYNCFS
privilege gating") registered test_syncfs in the fuse selftest Makefile
and .gitignore, but the test source was not part of the applied commit,
so building the fuse selftests fails:

  make[1]: *** No rule to make target '.../test_syncfs', needed by 'all'.

Add test_syncfs.c as posted in Jimmy Zuber's v3 submission. The test
talks the raw FUSE protocol over /dev/fuse, so it can choose whether to
advertise FUSE_HAS_SYNCFS and directly observe whether the kernel
forwards a FUSE_SYNCFS request. It covers three cases:

  T1: host-root mount, server sets FUSE_HAS_SYNCFS
      -> FUSE_SYNCFS must reach the server.
  T2: host-root mount, server does not opt in
      -> FUSE_SYNCFS must not be sent (back-compat).
  T3: server opts in but opened /dev/fuse without CAP_SYS_ADMIN while
      still in the initial user namespace
      -> FUSE_SYNCFS must be withheld.
