Moves the NFS mount code out of util-linux to nfs-utils. The primary reason being ease of maintainability, and keeping util-linux away from all the filesystem-specifc worries.

Adds a new directory 'mount' under utils. Creates a binary mount.nfs. Three symbolic links are created to this binary - mount.nfs4, umount.nfs and umount.nfs4. It is simpler and avoids code duplication (or overhead of fork->exec) by keeping umount code in a single binary along with the mount code. Mount code uses umount to handle certain fail cases. It also makes sense to keep single binary for all the versions of the NFS, as opposed to having seperate binaries mount.nfs and mount.nfs4, since the code falls back to lower version if mounting with v4 fails. Adds two man pages - mount.nfs(8) and umount.nfs(8).

Patches are split into two parts:
[1/2] nfsmount-migration-to-nfsutils-v2.patch
[2/2] nfsmount-migration-to-nfsutils-support-v2.patch

After applying the patches before configuring and compiling, do:
$ rpcgen -c utils/mount/nfsmount.x > utils/mount/nfsmount_xdr.c
$ rpcgen -h utils/mount/nfsmount.x > utils/mount/nfsmount.h
$ sh autogen.sh
