[jcifs] Problem setting attributes for directories

[Michael B Allen]

This is fixed. The bits that you can actually set are:

0x2000 - Content Indexed
0x1000 - Offline
ATTR_NORMAL
ATTR_ARCHIVE
ATTR_SYSTEM
ATTR_HIDDEN
ATTR_READONLY

All other bits (e.g. 0x7000 - Encrypted) are ignored or generate an error
on the remote end so they are masked out if you attempt to set them. But
all defined bits (0x7FFF) will be returned by getAttributes (as they did
before).

To be released in 1.2.1 RSN.
