Introduce the format lowerdir=lower1:lower2::lowerdata1::lowerdata2 where the lower layers on the right of the :: separators are not merged into the overlayfs merge dirs. Data-only lower layers are only allowed at the bottom of the stack. The files in those layers are only meant to be accessible via absolute redirect from metacopy files in lower layers. Following changes will implement lookup in the data layers. This feature was requested for composefs ostree use case, where the lower data layer should only be accessiable via absolute redirects from metacopy inodes. The lower data layers are not required to a have a unique uuid or any uuid at all, because they are never used to compose the overlayfs inode st_ino/st_dev.
