volatile-binds: use overlayfs if available
Copying files from the read-only root filesystem to the tmpfs providing the volatile directories can be slow and waste memory. If the kernel supports the overlay filesystem, use it to mount a writable tmpfs on top of the read-only directory from the rootfs and avoid copies. Analogous to the modification made to initscripts's read-only-rootfs-hook in 370fda1b2e8d5dc011522131bba4106de26bfb19.
