mounting with the "snapshots=" mount parm allows a read-only
view of a previous version of a file system (see MS-SMB2
and "timewarp" tokens, section 2.2.13.2.6) based on the timestamp
passed in on the snapshots mount parm.
Add processing to optionally send this create context.
Example output:
/mnt1 is mounted with "snapshots=..." and will see an earlier
version of the directory, with three fewer files than /mnt2
the current version of the directory.

Snapshots are extremely useful for comparing previous versions of files or directories,
and recovering from data corruptions or mistakes.
