Add mount_facts module (#83508)
* Add a mount_facts module capable of gathering mounts skipped by default
fact gathering

* By default, collect mount facts from standard locations including
/etc/mtab, /proc/mounts, /etc/fstab, /etc/mnttab, /etc/vfstab, and on AIX,
/etc/filesystems.

When no file-based source for the current mounts can be found
(like /proc/mounts), the module falls back to using mount as a source.
This allows BSD and AIX to collect the existing mounts by default, without
causing Linux hosts to use both /proc/mounts and mount output.

* Non-standard locations and "mount" can be configured as a sources.

* Support returning an aggregate list of mount points in addition to first
found.

When there are multiple mounts for the same mount point in an
individual source, a warning is given if the include_aggregate_mounts
option is not configured.

* Add options to filter on fstypes and devices (supporting UNIX shell
wildcards).

* Support configuring a timeout and timeout behavior to make it easier
to use the module as a default facts module without risking a hang.

* Include the source and line(s) corresponding to a mount for easier
debugging.
