config: clarify Linux mount options

The former wording was inconsistent with runc, crun, youki, etc.

Several `mount(8)` options such as `X-mount.mode` are unimplemented in those OCI runtimes,
and vice versa (`tmpcopyup`, `rro`, etc.)

The option table added in this commit conforms to runc 1.1, but `acl`
and `noacl` are excluded as the runc implementation seems wrong.

+Runtimes MAY also implement custom option strings that are not listed in the table above.
+If a custom option string is already recognized by [`mount(8)`][mount.8], the runtime SHOULD follow the behavior of [`mount(8)`][mount.8].
+
+Runtimes SHOULD pass unknown options to [`mount(2)`][mount.2] via the fifth argument (`const void *data`).
