[patch] fix description of nfsversion mount option

Hello list.

Here is a first patch trying to update a little bit nfs-utils
documentation. I'd like also to change the constant opposition of 'nfs'
vs 'nfs4' filesystems in this man page, but I have no clue if the plan
is to remove 'nfs4' filesystem completly, or to keep for compatibility
purpose. In the first case, I'd just remove any occurence of it in the
man page, in the second case, I'm less sure about what to do.

Also, I really think NEWS and ChangeLOG files should be either dropped,
or merged and updated.
