Andrew Tridgell 7f2c771b0e r3278: - rewrote the client side rpc connection code to use lib/socket/
rather than doing everything itself. This greatly simplifies the
  code, although I really don't like the socket_recv() interface (it
  always allocates memory for you, which means an extra memcpy in this
  code)

- fixed several bugs in the socket_ipv4.c code, in particular client
  side code used a non-blocking connect but didn't handle EINPROGRESS,
  so it had no chance of working. Also fixed the error codes, using
  map_nt_error_from_unix()

- cleaned up and expanded map_nt_error_from_unix()

- changed interpret_addr2() to not take a mem_ctx. It makes absolutely
  no sense to allocate a fixed size 4 byte structure like this. Dozens
  of places in the code were also using interpret_addr2() incorrectly
  (precisely because the allocation made no sense)

This is the base of the new NTVFS subsystem for Samba. The model for
NTVFS backends is quite different than for the older style VFS
backends, in particular:

- the NTVFS backends receive windows style file names, although they
  are in the unix charset (usually UTF8). This means the backend is
  responsible for mapping windows filename conventions to unix
  filename conventions if necessary

- the NTVFS backends are responsible for changing effective UID before
  calling any OS local filesystem operations (if needed). The
  become_*() functions are provided to make this easier.

- the NTVFS backends are responsible for resolving DFS paths

- each NTVFS backend handles either disk, printer or IPC$ shares,
  rather than one backend handling all types

- the entry points of the NTVFS backends correspond closely with basic
  SMB operations, wheres the old VFS was modelled directly on the
  POSIX filesystem interface.

- the NTVFS backends are responsible for all semantic mappings, such
  as mapping dos file attributes, ACLs, file ownership and file times
