Change the core to be mountable by default without a FS #370

We should remove MountableFileSystem and support mounting by default. configure should work like the mountable options. Furthermore, using configure with the old syntax would just mount the FS to /. For example:

import { configure } from 'browserfs';

await configure({ fs: 'InMemory' });

// new
await configure({
    '/': { fs: 'IndexedDB' },
    '/tmp': { fs: 'InMemory' },
});

// old
await configure({
    fs: 'MountableFileSystem',
    options: {
            '/': { fs: 'IndexedDB' },
            '/tmp': { fs: 'InMemory' },
    }
});

This eliminates the need for having to create a completely separate file system just to mount something. It reduces the complexity of the project in addition to improving compatibility.
