It's been a while since our last release and Shirish's new cifs.idmap
utility has now been merged. The last release was 4.9, so I've been a
bit torn -- should I call this one 4.10 or 5.0?

Then I figured...when in doubt, copy Linus. Since he just bumped the
major version number of the kernel, this is now version 5.0.

The main changes:

- - mount.cifs always uses the original device string to ensure that umounts
  by unprivileged users are not problematic

- - there is a new cifs.idmap program for handling idmapping upcalls

- - a lot of manpage patches

    mount.cifs: Use original device string all the way

    Don't construct a device name, but use the original device string
    to mount so the device name in /proc/mounts matches the one in
    /etc/fstab.

    mount.cifs: fix test for strtoul failure in mount.cifs

    It currently test to see if errno == -EINVAL and whether the endptr
    is '\0'. That's not correct however. What we really want it to do is
    check to see if any error occurred by setting errno to 0 before the
    conversion. If one did, then try to treat the value as a name.

    Also fix a bogus compiler warning about cruid being uninitialized.

    cifs-utils: Create new binary cifs.idmap for sid to uid/gid mapping (try #4)

    Handle cifs.idmap type of key. Extract a SID string from the description
    and map it to either an uid or gid using winbind APIs.
    If that fails (e.g. because winbind is not installed/running or winbind
    returns an error), kernel assigns uid and gid (from mount superblock).

    Enable including winbind header files and idmapping code conditional
    to winbind devel rpms (header and library).

    An entry such as this

    create  cifs.idmap   *       *               /usr/sbin/cifs.idmap %k

    is needed in the file /etc/request-key.conf.

    [Note: Modified to not build new tool by default, and to fix up some
           whitespace munging]
