rclone uses fuse3 since v1.62.0 (2023-03-14)

[chrillefkr]

Describe the bug

rclone wrapper program in pkgs/applications/networking/sync/rclone/default.nix adds fuse 2.x to PATH, while rclone has seemingly moved over to use fuse 3.x. This seem to break rclone mount in certain cases when it's looking for fusermount3.

Steps To Reproduce

I'm trying to emulate whatever mount -t rclone does:

$ nix shell github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable#rclone
$ tail -F ~/rclone.log
[1] 1024832
tail: cannot open '/home/chris/rclone.log' for reading: No such file or directory

An easier example might be to use systemd.mount on NixOS:

{ config, pkgs, lib, ... }:
{
  # Ensure you've got /etc/rclone.conf setup before trying this

  system.activationScripts.makeRcloneDir = lib.stringAfter [ "var" ] ''
    mkdir -p /var/rclone
  '';
  environment.systemPackages = [
    pkgs.rclone
    pkgs.fuse3 # Doesn't help tho
  ];

  systemd.mounts = [
    {
      what = "gdrive:";
      where = "/mnt/gdrive";
      type = "rclone";
      options = "rw,_netdev,allow_other,args2env,vfs-cache-mode=writes,config=/etc/rclone.conf,cache-dir=/var/rclone,log-file=/var/rclone/log.txt,log-level=DEBUG";
    }
  ];
}

Expected behavior

I expect rclone to find fusermount3 by having it as a dependency.
