Description

It would be helpful to be able to change the name of the 9p file share. https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/4eb1e5035e91490c5aeebab45553d5043cd84b95/lib/9p.js#L82

For dynamically generating mount tags:

/**
 * @param {string} mountTagName
 */
function genMountTagArray(mountTagName) {
    /**
     * @type {Number[]}
     */
    let _mountTagArray;
    Array.from(mountTagName).forEach(function(char) {
        _mountTagArray.push(char.charCodeAt(0));
    });
    return _mountTagArray;
};

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the 9p mount tag is currently initialized in lib/9p.js and propose a function to update it at runtime, ensuring the change propagates to the 9p server.
