Description

it would be useful to have the opposite of the mount command. few users would know they can fusermount -u /ipfs; fusermount -u /ipns. i don't actually know if that works, even!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing 'ipfs mount' implementation in cmd/ipfs/mount.go and how fusermount is called. Implement a new 'ipfs umount' command that reverses the mount, likely using 'fusermount u'. Ensure it works for both /ipfs and /ipns mount points.
