Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1993

In some cases, it may be beneficial to whitelist the original /dev/shm, even if nothing is keeping anything there at the time. The easiest example of this is pass, which uses /dev/shm for its temporary files when you use pass edit. I'm going to add a flag to keep the original /dev/shm (not too hard since much of the logic already exists).
