Description

Mounting /ipns/ has negative consequences (one can't use ipfs name publish) so option to mount only /ipfs/ or /ipns in read only mode would be beneficial.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the mount command implementation in the cmd/ipfs package, find where mount options are handled, and add a new flag to allow mounting only /ipfs/. Ensure the read only mode for /ipns/ is also considered.
