Ensure we don't spend too much time in the file system setup when reading by only loading the actually useful mountpoints required to read the content of a folder

Advantages:

Would decrease significantly the setup time for an instance like c.n.c as we would only setup the mountpoints actually usefull for a PROPFIND

Disadvantages:

Some operations would be more expensive e.g. when sharing with a group containing 10 000 users
