fuse: initialize marfs config before mounting fuse #230
This commit changes the initialization of the marfs fuse context to occur before calling fuse_main(). The reason for this is to exit the fuse process before mounting the fuse filesystem when there are fatal errors. Once fuse_main() is called, exiting the daemon process leaves fuse mounted, causing ENOTCONN errors when accessing the mountpoint. However, if there are fatal errors in the configuration, there is no reason to even mount fuse at all.
This commit also changes the errors in marfs_fuse_init() to output to stderr instead of using the LOG macro. This works because now the function always runs in the foreground so sending output to stderr works, and these errors should always be printed even if the binary is not compiled with logging enabled.
