Public bug reported:

This is legal in fstab:

```
LABEL=myvol /mountpoint ext4 defaults 0 0
```

It would be cool if cc_mounts would support mounting this way. It would
also make mounting the correct EBS volume in the right place on EC2 a
little more reliable, especially since fs_setup already supports
applying a label.

Additionally, if mounts is unable to figure out how to resolve the
filesystem identifier, perhaps it should just try to use it (and place
it in fstab) anyway? Or at least have an option to "force" application
instead of skipping it (and let the user deal with their non-booting
instance).
