Fedor Korotkov cf9a3a9221 Allow mounting a single directory without a name (#555)
* Allow mounting a single directory without a name

To utilize `VZSingleDirectoryShare` which seems more stable than `VZMultipleDirectoryShare`.

We've been having reports from users that mounted directories occasionally return "no such file" errors when building large projects. I took a stab at reproducing the issue by running https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark in a mounted directory:

```bash
tart run --dir=workdir-test:~/workspace-temp/XcodeBenchmark ventura-xcode
```

And I was able to reproduce the "no such file" error on the first try! After looking into the issue I decided to try `VZSingleDirectoryShare` as this PR changes and to my pleasant surprise it all worked like a charm the next run. So it seems there is a bug in `VZMultipleDirectoryShare` integration with virtiofs. Since in most cases users only mount a single directory it makes sense to allow doing it wihtout providing a `name`.

So now it will be possible to run the following command:

```bash
tart run --dir=~/workspace-temp/XcodeBenchmark ventura-xcode
```

Which will make `~/workspace-temp/XcodeBenchmark` available under `/Volumes/My Shared Files/` without any intermediate directories.

Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines (VMs) on Apple Silicon. Built by CI engineers for your automation needs. Here are some highlights of Tart:

  • Tart uses Apple's own Virtualization.Framework for near-native performance.
  • Push/Pull virtual machines from any OCI-compatible container registry.
  • Use Tart Packer Plugin to automate VM creation.
  • Built-in CI integration.

Tart is already adopted by several automation services:

Many more companies are using Tart in their internal setups. Here are a few of them:

Note: If your company or project is using Tart please consider adding yourself to the list above.

Usage
