WIP: make-sandboxed: handle /opt-style packaging, with toplevels linked into /bin, a bit better

it still prompts the user to allow it, but i'll fix that later i guess

 - mpv: continues to play past the end of some audio files

 - `ssh` access doesn't grant same linux capabilities as login

-- validate duplicity backups!
-- encrypt more ~ dirs (~/archives, ~/records, ..?)

 - port all sane.programs to be sandboxed
-  - sandbox `curlftpfs`

+        `mount.fuse3.sane` invokes the userspace implementation with the device argument set to something like `/dev/fd/3`, indicating which fd holds the fuse device.
+
+        the aim of this flag is to provide a clear handoff point at which the filesystem may drop CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
+        in this regard, it's much like `-o drop_privileges`, only it leaves the responsibility for that to the fs impl,
