[PATCH] idmapd: allow non-ASCII characters (UTF-8) in NFSv4 domain name

[Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.com>]

The validateascii() check in imconv() maps NFSv4 domain names with non-ASCII
characters to 'nobody'. In setups where Active directory or LDAP is used this
causes names with UTF-8 characters to being mapped to 'nobody' because of this
check.

As Bruce Fields puts it:

"idmapd doesn't seem like the right place to enforce restrictions on names.
Once the system has allowed a name it's too late to be complaining about it
here."

Replace the validateascii() call in imconv() with a check for null-termination
just to be extra-careful and remove the validateascii() function itself
as the only user of that function is being removed by this patch.
