D15843: Allow FileIndexerConfig to check device mounted status by path.

  >>> As a side note - cross-device indexing is broken anyway and can never work reliably in the current scheme using device ids as part of the baloo document id. Device ids are not stable. For the home partition it works somewhat reliable as the device setup is sufficiently fixed, but for any network share, Vault, disk image, whatever, it depends on the mounting order.

  That isn't a problem I'm particularly concerned with, that observance being unrelated to this patch. Is there a bug filed?
