mount: allow files of unkown size to be read properly

Browse Source 
Before this change, files of unknown size (eg Google Docs) would
appear in file listings with 0 size and would only allow 0 bytes to be
read.

This change sets the direct_io flag in the FUSE return which bypasses
the cache for these files.  This means that they can be read properly.

This is compatible with some, but not all applications.

Google docs will transfer correctly with `rclone sync`, `rclone copy`
etc as rclone knows to ignore the size when doing the transfer.
However an unfortunate consequence of this is that you can't download
Google docs using `rclone mount` - you will get a 0 sized file. If
you try again the doc may gain its correct size and be downloadable.

on the application accessing the mount and the OS you are running -
experiment to find out if it does work for you!

You'll need to experiment to see if it works for you without the flag.
