Subject: [PATCH 13/28] integrate mount2_cmds_test into mount_cmds_test

Updated mount_cmds_test.py to work with both llfuse/pyfuse3 and mfusepy
by checking for either implementation in skip conditions.

mfusepy: 2 test fails due to hardlink implementation differences

Subject: [PATCH 19/28] rename fuse2 -> hlfuse

fuse2 was a bit misleading. it meant "our 2nd fuse implementation",
but could be misunderstood to refer to fuse v2.

hlfuse.py now means highlevel fuse, as opposed to the lowlevel fuse in fuse.py.
