[PATCH] Add missing description of mountproto option to nfs(5)

[Chuck Lever]

The new nfs(5) man page is missing a description of the mountproto option.
May I recommend that this language be included before 1.1.3 goes out?

[PATCH] nfs(5) man page: Add documentation for the "mountproto=" option

Looks like mountproto= was never documented in nfs(5).  Add a paragraph
that describes it in the "nfs mount options" section.
