Multipass: Use native mounts where available
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to use native mounts instead of sshfs for faster performance when using Multipass drivers. Awaiting maintainer triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is labeled 'Type: Enhancement' and clearly requests switching to `--type native` mounts for faster 9p/cifs performance over sshfs. However, it lacks maintainer acknowledgment or prioritization, requiring triage to assess feasibility and add it to the backlog.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Multipass offers [native mounts](https://multipass.run/docs/mount) on the hyperv, qemu and lxd drivers. These are the default drivers on all supported platforms.
If Multipass [uses](https://multipass.run/docs/local-driver) one of these drivers (`multipass get local.driver`), mounting should set `--type native`.
### Why it needs to get done
The default (`classic` mounting) uses sshfs, which can be slow. Native mounts use 9p or cifs, which are significantly faster.
