RFC 3530 says "ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP flag MUST be ignored on entries
with these special identifiers. When encoding entries with these
special identifiers, the ACE4_IDENTIFIER_GROUP flag SHOULD be set to
zero." It really shouldn't matter either way, but the point is that
this flag is used to distinguish named users from named groups (since
unix allows a group to have the same name as a user), so it doesn't
really make sense to use it on a special identifier such as this.)

The group deny entries end up denying tcy even though tcy was just
allowed by the allow entry. This appears to be due to:
ace->access_mask = mask_from_posix(deny, flags);
instead of:
ace->access_mask = deny_mask_from_posix(deny, flags);
Denying a previously allowed bit has no effect, so this shouldn't affect
behavior, but it's ugly.

nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() returns an error and returns any posix acls
calculated in two caller-provided pointers. It was setting these pointers to
-errno in some error cases, resulting in nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() calling
posix_acl_release() with a -errno as an argument.
Fix both the caller and the callee, by modifying nfsd4_set_nfs4_acl() to
stop relying on the passed-in-pointers being left as NULL in the error
case, and by modifying nfs4_acl_nfsv4_to_posix() to stop returning
garbage in those pointers.

We're inserting deny's between some ACEs in order to enforce posix draft acl
semantics which prevent permissions from accumulating across entries in an
acl.
That's fine, but we're doing that by inserting a deny after *every* allow,
which is overkill. We shouldn't be adding them in places where they actually
make no difference.
Also replaced some helper functions for creating acl entries; I prefer just
assigning directly to the struct fields--it takes a few more lines, but the
field names provide some documentation that I think makes the result easier
understand.

The rfc allows us to be more permissive about the ACL inheritance bits we
accept:
"If the server supports a single "inherit ACE" flag that applies to
both files and directories, the server may reject the request
(i.e., requiring the client to set both the file and directory
inheritance flags). The server may also accept the request and
silently turn on the ACE4_DIRECTORY_INHERIT_ACE flag."
Let's take the latter option--the ACL is a complex attribute that could be
rejected for a wide variety of reasons, and the protocol gives us little
ability to explain the reason for the rejection, so erroring out is a
user-unfriendly last resort.

Use a different nfsv4->(draft posix) acl mapping which is
1. completely backwards compatible,
2. accepts any nfsv4 acl, and
3. errs on the side of restricting permissions.
In detail:
1. completely backwards compatible: The new mapping produces the
same result on any acl produced by the existing (draft
posix)->nfsv4 mapping; the one exception is that we no longer
attempt to guess the value of the mask by assuming certain denies
represent the mask. Since the server still keeps track of the mask
locally, sequences of chmod's will still be handled fine; the only
thing this will change is sequences of chmod's with intervening
read-modify-writes of the acl. That last case just isn't worth the
trouble and the possible misrepresentations of the user's intent
(if we guess that a certain deny indicates masking is in effect
when it really isn't).
2. accepts any nfsv4 acl: That's not quite true: we still reject
acls that use combinations of inheritance flags that we don't
support. We also reject acls that attempt to explicitly deny
read_acl or read_attributes permissions, or that attempt to deny
write_acl or write_attributes permissions to the owner of the file.
3. errs on the side of restricting permissions: one exception to
this last rule: we totally ignore some bits (write_owner,
synchronize, read_named_attributes, etc.) that are completely alien
to our filesystem semantics, in some cases even if that would mean
ignoring an explicit deny that we have no intention of enforcing.
Excepting that, the posix acl produced should be the most
permissive acl that is not more permissive than the given nfsv4
acl.
And the new code's shorter, too. Neato.

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.
