In my testing, unionfs-fuse works significantly faster than fuse-overlayfs. And it supports both fuse2 and fuse3, which is also an advantage over fuse-overlayfs.
Conty now uses statically linked bash and busybox, so it no longer depends on system-wide bash, tar and gzip.
And other improvements in this commit:
* NVIDIA_HANDLER improved and enabled by default.
* Reworked the self-update feature, it uses fuse-overlayfs now instead of extracting the whole image.
* Added the CUSTOM_MNT, which allows to use Conty with already mounted custom moint points and directory structures.
* create-conty.sh now automatically sets the correct sizes in conty-start.sh
* Added more locales
The function is called NVIDIA_HANDLER and is disabled by default.
When enabled, it will automatically download the same Nvidia driver version as installed on the host system and pass it into the container.
This is implemented via fuse-overlayfs, fuse3 is required for this to work.

The dwarfs utils are relatively large (~20 MB when extracted) and are not needed for squashfs-compressed images, so it's better to move them into a separate archive.
The integrated utils now include two squashfuse binaries: the one is for fuse2 and the second is for fuse3.
Conty will automatically use the fuse3 version if fuse3 is installed, otherwise it will use the fuse2 version.
Besides, glibc libs are now included and they are used for the integrated utils.
Which means that the integrated utils now don't depend on system-wide glibc and will work even on really old distros (like Ubuntu 12.04, for example), assuming that kernel version is new enough, of course.
