NFS: Readdir plus in v4

By requsting more attributes during a readdir, we can mimic the readdir plus
operation that was in NFSv3.

To test, I ran the command `ls -lU --color=none` on directories with various
numbers of files.  Without readdir plus, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000
--------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------
real    | 0m00.153s | 0m00.589s | 0m05.601s | 0m56.691s | 9m59.128s
user    | 0m00.007s | 0m00.007s | 0m00.077s | 0m00.703s | 0m06.800s
sys     | 0m00.010s | 0m00.070s | 0m00.633s | 0m06.423s | 1m10.005s
access  | 3         | 1         | 1         | 4         | 31
getattr | 2         | 1         | 1         | 1         | 1
lookup  | 104       | 1,003     | 10,003    | 100,003   | 1,000,003
readdir | 2         | 16        | 158       | 1,575     | 15,749
total   | 111       | 1,021     | 10,163    | 101,583   | 1,015,784

With readdir plus enabled, I see this:

n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000
--------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------

user    | 0m00.003s | 0m00.003s | 0m00.040s | 0m00.290s | 0m03.296s
sys     | 0m00.007s | 0m00.020s | 0m00.120s | 0m01.357s | 0m17.556s
access  | 3         | 1         | 1         | 1         | 7
getattr | 2         | 1         | 1         | 1         | 1
lookup  | 4         | 3         | 3         | 3         | 3
readdir | 6         | 62        | 630       | 6,300     | 62,993
total   | 15        | 67        | 635       | 6,305     | 63,004

Readdir plus disabled has about a 16x increase in the number of rpc calls and
is 4 - 5 times slower on large directories.
