Rework NFS Duplicate Request Cache cleanup logic.

- Introduce additional hash to group requests by hash of sockref. This
allows to process TCP acknowledgements without looping though all the cache,
and as result allows to do it every time.
- Indroduce additional callbacks to notify application layer about sockets
disconnection. Without this last few requests processed just before socket
disconnection never processed their ACKs and stuck in cache for many hours.
- Implement transport-specific method for tracking reply acknowledgements.
New implementation does not cross multiple stack layers to get the data and
does not have race conditions that previously made some requests stuck
in cache. This could be done more efficiently at sockbuf layer, but that
would broke some KBIs, while I don't know other consumers for it aside NFS.
- Instead of traversing all DRC twice per request, run cleaning only once
per request, and except in some conditions traverse only single hash slot
at a time.

Together this limits NFS DRC growth only to situations of real connectivity
problems. If network is working well, and so all replies are acknowledged,
cache remains almost empty even after hours of heavy load. Without this
change on the same test cache was growing to many thousand requests even
with perfectly working local network.

As another result this reduces CPU time spent on the DRC handling during
SPEC NFS benchmark from about 10% to 0.5%.

This patch adds a sysctl to the NFSv4 server which optionally disables the
check for a UTF-8 compliant file name. Enabling this sysctl results in
an NFSv4 server that is non-RFC3530 compliant, therefore it is not enabled
by default. However, enabling this sysctl results in NFSv3 compatible
behaviour and fixes the problem reported by "dan at sunsaturn.com"
to freebsd-current@ on Nov. 14, 2011 under the subject "NFSV4 readlink_stat".

Add DEXITCODE plumbing to NFS.

Isilon has the concept of an in-memory exit-code ring that saves the last exit
code of a function and allows for stack tracing. This is very helpful when
debugging tough issues.

This patch is essentially a no-op for BSD at this point, until we upstream
the dexitcode logic itself. The patch adds DEXITCODE calls to every NFS
function that returns an errno error code. A number of code paths were also
reorganized to have single exit paths, to reduce code duplication.

Add the experimental nfs subtree to the kernel, that includes
support for NFSv4 as well as NFSv2 and 3.
It lives in 3 subdirs under sys/fs:
nfs - functions that are common to the client and server
nfsclient - a mutation of sys/nfsclient that call generic functions
to do RPCs and handle state. As such, it retains the
buffer cache handling characteristics and vnode semantics that
are found in sys/nfsclient, for the most part.
nfsserver - the server. It includes a DRC designed specifically for
NFSv4, that is used instead of the generic DRC in sys/rpc.
The build glue will be checked in later, so at this point, it
consists of 3 new subdirs that should not affect kernel building.
