I've talked to alexl and mclasen on IRC and we went for Alex's

 GDrive <-1-n-> GVolume <-1-1-> GMount

So I did the rename and I've committed this to glib/gio trunk. I've also
fixed up gvfs and nautilus to use this. Everything seems to work fine.

I've fixed this and nuked GUnixMountType from the public API.

This is gone too.

Later today or tomorrow I'll send a patch to

 - make the GUnixVolumeMonitor backend have GDrives (for ejecting
   media)

 - land the GHalVolumeMonitor in gvfs (it depends on D-Bus so it's
   properly the right place as compared to glib/gio).

Yell if anything is broken. Thanks.
