fix(mount): wait for helper mounts to appear before verifying

- bindfs and other FUSE helpers return before their mount is visible in /proc/mounts, so the single post-mount check raced them and aborted with "unable to mount" even though the mount succeeded, leaving configured services unstarted.
- Post-mount verification now polls the mount table for up to 2 seconds before declaring failure.
- Mount table entries are matched against both the symlink-resolved and literal target, so a target whose path cannot be resolved still matches a live mount instead of being mounted a second time.
- Octal escapes in /proc/mounts are decoded, so mountpoints containing spaces are recognized as mounted.
- Failure to read /proc/mounts is returned as an error and closes any LUKS volume opened for that entry, instead of exiting the process mid-run from a mount goroutine.
