[jcifs] jCIFS API issue with a dual layer DFS

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Marina,

JCIFS supports unlimited levels of DFS indirection although more than
one level is not tested regularly.

I have added an entry to the TODO list to test multiple levels of
redirection and referenced your mixed domain-based + stand-alone
use-case.
