Ralph Boehme 631e6aa0d0 smbd: bring back "smb3 unix extensions" option
This basically reverts commit b3cae8dcf1
with a few important differences:

* SMB3 UNIX extensions are always built, but disabled by default at runtime.

* They are globally enabled in the fileserver test environment.

* It's now a per-share option, so admins can selectively disable them
  on a per-share basis. This allows clients to detect early that a share
  doesn't support user mount requested POSIX and fail appropiately, passing
  the failure to the requesting application (mount command).

Release Announcements
=====================
This is the first pre release of Samba 4.20. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.20 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
UPGRADING
=========
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
New Minimum MIT Krb5 version for Samba AD Domain Controller
-----------------------------------------------------------
Samba now requires MIT 1.21 when built against a system MIT Krb5 and
acting as an Active Directory DC. This addresses the issues that were
fixed in CVE-2022-37967 (KrbtgtFullPacSignature) and ensures that
Samba builds against the MIT version that allows us to avoid that
attack.
Removed dependency on Perl JSON module
--------------------------------------
Distributions are advised that the Perl JSON package is no longer
required by Samba builds that use the imported Heimdal. The build
instead uses Perl's JSON::PP built into recent perl5 versions.
Current lists of packages required by Samba for major distributions
are found in the bootstrap/generated-dists/ directory of a Samba
source tree. While there will be some differences - due to features
chosen by packagers - comparing these lists with the build dependencies
in a package may locate other dependencies we no longer require.
REMOVED FEATURES
================
Get locally logged on users from utmp
-------------------------------------
The Workstation Service Remote Protocol [MS-WKST] calls NetWkstaGetInfo
level 102 and NetWkstaEnumUsers level 0 and 1 return the list of locally
logged on users. Samba was getting the list from utmp, which is not
Y2038 safe. This feature has been completely removed and Samba will
always return an empty list.
smb.conf changes
