  • Add the api surface for mount providers to pro-actively update the list of cached mounts
  • Implement this for files_external as POC since it's one of the easiest ones

Note that this only adds the api for implementing authoritative mounts providers, it doesn't add any logic that rely on them.

TODO:

  • deal with new users, group changes, etc
  • don't get the root cache entry multiple times if there is no user-specific config

Best used with #56447 to easily see the mount listing
