13190d8754 Allow users to use the 'nolockd' or -L options with mount_nfs in order
to avoid the need for rpc.lockd to perform client locks.  Using
this option a user can revert back to using local locks for NFS mounts
like we did before we had rpc.lockd.

2bc53e1178 Change the foreground mount behaviour so that we keep retrying
forever by default. This matches what mount_nfs did before revision
1.40, and it is the generally expected behaviour for NFS mounts.

Document the current defaults near the start of the man page and
mention the options that can be used to change them.

e16873dad6 Since revision 1.40/1.41, the default behaviour for mount_nfs is
to give up after one attempt unless a background mount is requested.
Background mounts would retry 10000 times (at least 7 days) before
giving up.

For some situations such as diskless terminals, an NFS filesystem
may be critical to the boot process, so neither the "try once" nor
background mounts are appropiate. To cater for this situation,
unbreak the -R (retry count) parameter so that it also works in
the non-background case. Interpret a zero retry count as "retry
forever".

The defaults are now "try once" for non-background mounts and "retry
forever" for background mounts; both can be overridden via -R.
Add a description of this behaviour to the manpage.

4086cd0d7e Make it much more obvious that the use of NQNFS is discouraged (the
NQNFS code is ancient, bug-ridden, and should probably be removed).
The wording here was very confusing; it was easy to get the impression
that NQNFS is an extension to NFSv3 when in fact it just uses some
NFSv3-like extensions on top of NFSv2. As witnessed by the mailing
lists and PRs, some people were reading the description and deciding
that NQNFS was what they wanted to use.

a34f78d134 Fix bogon in man page. "-o conn" actually turns off NFSMNT_NOCONN as it is
a "negative" option.  This makes it equivalent to /not/ specifying "-c".
The compile time default is /not/ to have the NFSMNT_NOCONN flag set, so
"-o conn" should never be needed---truly a deprecated option :-).

a62dc40654 Changes to support version 3 of the NFS protocol.
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount).  The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server.  It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.

Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs.  Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.

NFS diskless support is untested.
