The cifs session setup code has three cases, and a fourth for backlevel
LANMAN2 style session setup needed to be added. This new session setup
implmentation will eventually replace the other three and should be
easier to read while fixing a few minor problems (not setting
the LARGE READ/WRITEX flags when NTLMSSP was negotiated for example) and
adding support for NTLMv2 (which will be added with the next patch. In the
meantime, this code is marked in an CONFIG_CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL block and will
not be turned on by default until it is tested against more server types.

These changes to debug code and new stats are helpful in
debugging potential tcp performance/configuration problems under cifs.

allows specifying an RFC1001 target "called" name (netbios name of the
server, which can now be pecified as mount option "servernetbiosname"
but will eventually be passed in automatically on retry of host down
error messages caused when server refuses to handle default server
name and can not handle port 445). This is an important step, but
additional testing and fixup is needed to add remaining function needed
for these.

And fix to not needlessly send new POSIX QFSInfo when server does not
explicitly claim support for the new protocol extensions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
