Jeremy Allison fbbfdbd648 Fix bug #8229 - git patch attached against 3.6.0-rc2 to fix 'widelinks' regression intro'd in 3.2
Add "allow insecure widelinks" to re-enable the ability (requested
by some sites) to have "widelinks = yes" and "unix extensions = yes".

Based on an original patch by Linda Walsh <samba@tlinx.org>

<description>
<para>This parameter controls whether or not links
in the UNIX file system may be followed by the server. Links
that point to areas within the directory tree exported by the
server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only
to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.</para>
<para>Note: Turning this parameter on when UNIX extensions are enabled
will allow UNIX clients to create symbolic links on the share that
can point to files or directories outside restricted path exported
by the share definition. This can cause access to areas outside of
the share. Due to this problem, this parameter will be automatically
disabled (with a message in the log file) if the
<smbconfoption name="unix extensions"/> option is on.
</para>
<para>
See the parameter <smbconfoption name="allow insecure wide links"/>
if you wish to change this coupling between the two parameters.
