In order to generate source code to encode and decode NLMv4 protocol
elements, include a copy of the RPC language description of NLMv4
for xdrgen to process. The language description is an amalgam of
RFC 1813 and the Open Group's XNFS specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9629799/chap10.htm
The C code committed here was generated from the new nlm4.x file
using tools/net/sunrpc/xdrgen/xdrgen.
The goals of replacing hand-written XDR functions with ones that
are tool-generated are to improve memory safety and make XDR
encoding and decoding less brittle to maintain.
The xdrgen utility derives both the type definitions and the
encode/decode functions directly from protocol specifications,
using names and symbols familiar to anyone who knows those specs.
Unlike hand-written code that can inadvertently diverge from the
specification, xdrgen guarantees that the generated code matches
the specification exactly.
We would eventually like xdrgen to generate Rust code as well,
making the conversion of the kernel's NFS stacks to use Rust just
a little easier for us.

The language definition was extracted from the new
draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls specification. This ensures good
constant and type name alignment between the spec and the Linux
kernel source code, and brings in some basic XDR utilities for
handling NFSv4 POSIX draft ACLs.

Add the OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT constants from the nfs4.1 and delstid
draft into the nfs4_1.x file, and regenerate the headers and source
files. Do a mass renaming of NFS4_SHARE_WANT_* to
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT_* in the nfsd directory.

Rename the enum with the same name in include/linux/nfs4.h, add the
proper enum to nfs4_1.x and regenerate the headers and source files. Do
a mass rename of all NFS4_OPEN_DELEGATE_* to OPEN_DELEGATE_* in the nfsd
directory.

In the long run, the NFS development community intends to autogenerate a
lot of the XDR handling code. Both the NFS client and server include
"include/linux/nfs4.hi". That file was hand-rolled, and some of the symbols
in it conflict with the autogenerated symbols.
Add a small nfs4_1.x to Documentation that currently just has the
necessary definitions for the delstid draft, and generate the relevant
header and source files. Make include/linux/nfs4.h include the generated
include/linux/sunrpc/xdrgen/nfs4_1.h and remove the conflicting
definitions from it and nfs_xdr.h.
