For directory entries, non zero oe->numlower implies OVL_TYPE_MERGE.
Define a new type flag OVL_TYPE_COPYUP to indicate that an entry is
a target of a copy up.
For directory entries COPYUP = MERGE && UPPER. For non-dir entries
non zero oe->numlower implies COPYUP, but COPYUP does not imply
non zero oe->numlower. COPYUP can also be set on lookup when detecting
an overlay.fh xattr on a non-dir, even if that fh cannot be followed.
