Do we really need to change the ui, here?  What if we used the existing
friendly-recovery options to decide whether or not to tell mountall to
mount read-write?  I guess the choice of recovery options that require
read-write disk is rather clear.

I also am not nearly as worried about the UI change as I would be about
the new code being written for mountall (which would violate FFe).  We
would need a UI freeze exception, true, but UI Freeze is primarily about
*coordinating* changes, not about forbidding them entirely - and this is
a significant enough bug in the recovery mode that I think all users are
better off with a possibly-untranslated facility than with not having
the facility at all.  Whereas the mountall changes are risky and could
make recovery mode less stable / usable for everyone.
