We already set all file mtimes to 0 so that they are constant
over all checkouts, and can be made constant with a known value from
the system where the ostree was created.
However, this was not happening for directories. Zero their mtimes too.
This is important for shipping a fontconfig cache in the ostree;
the fontconfig cache files embed a directory mtime.
prepare-root works with the mount that has been set up at /sysroot.
It creates a bind-mount within /sysroot (the deployment) and then moves
that mount to /sysroot.
Now we have 2 mounts both at /sysroot, and once we do switch_root, we will
never be able to unmount both of them. I'm not sure if this is ultimately
a kernel bug, but either way, ostree could do a bit more tidying up
after itself.

Easy way to reproduce:
1. Boot with rd.break param
2. At initramfs shell, run: ostree-prepare-root /sysroot
3. Observe two /sysroot mounts in /proc/mounts
Fix this by setting up the mounts at /sysroot.tmp, and unmounting the
original /sysroot before our new mount is MS_MOVEd on top of it.
We're seeing some hangs while ostree is fetching updates.
I imagine the fact that SoupSessionAsync has no timeout by default
could be the cause of this.
Set timeout values to 60 seconds, which is the default for the new
SoupSession API which we may switch to later.

tmpfiles.d configurations generally require write access to some places
that are read-only until ostree-remount runs.
Make sure ostree-remount has run first.
Thanks to Cosimo Cecchi for finding and diagnosing this problem.
