Add mount options support to disk_partitions

[giampaolo]

psutil.get_parititions() is very useful, but it doesn't tell you if the 
filesystem is read-only, which is available from the mount options.  This is 
available via the mntent structure, but it's not piped through all the way to 
the python tuples.

This feature request is for adding support to read filesystem options.

Thanks!

Those options are not standardized, therefore I can't think of a consistent API 
to provide them all.
Some examples:

rw,mode=0755
rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620
rw,nosuid,nodev,user=giampaolo
rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions

Maybe you meant to provide permissions only ('r', 'w', 'rw')?

I just need permissions in my case, but even if they're not standardized, 
they're always a list of strings, with their meaning depending on the 
filesystem type.

Looking back at this I think it's a nice idea to provide the raw option string 
because despite not being standardized it's very easy to parse.
By using your use case as an example, one might do:

>>> read_only = 'rw' not in opts.split(',')

I'll see what we can do on Windows.
If we're able to determine partition permissions we can at least return "r" or 
"rw" to emulate the UNIX behavior. If we can't we'll just return an empty string.

Windows implementation committed as r1306 .
"fstype" now reflects the real filesystem type (e.g. "NTFS", "FAT") and 
"options" field is filled with drive permissions ("rw" or "ro") and drive type 
("fixed", "removable", "cdrom", etc...) as a comma separated string.
