file-systems: Add support for mounting CIFS file systems

* gnu/build/file-systems (canonicalize-device-name): Do not attempt to resolve
CIFS formatted device specifications.
(mount-file-systems): Add mount-cifs nested function.
* gnu/machine/ssh.scm (machine-check-file-system-availability): Skip checking
for CIFS availability, similar to NFS.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (check-file-system-availability): Likewise.
