[Samba] ANNOUNCE: cifs-utils release 5.9 ready for download

Hash: SHA1

With the merge of the new plugin interface, it's probably a good time
for a new cifs-utils release. Distro packagers should take special note
of the changes with the new plugin interface since it has implications
for how the tools are packaged. In particular, it's necessary to set a
symlink to the plugin in the correct location
(/etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin by default).

Here are the main highlights:

* There is a new plugin architecture for the ID mapping tools. This
  encapsulates the winbind interfaces inside a plugin and allows the
  writing of others.

* The DOMAIN\username at password format for username= arguments have been
  deprecated. The discrete mount options for each of those values
  should be used instead.

* Full RELRO (vs. partial) is now enabled on all binaries by default

Go forth and download!

    mount.cifs: treat uid=,gid=,cruid= options as name before assuming they're a number

    Sergio Conrad reported a problem trying to set up an autofs map to do
    a krb5 mount. In his environment, many users have usernames that are
    comprised entirely of numbers. While that's a bit odd, POSIX apparently
    allows for it.

    The current code assumes that when a numeric argument is passed to one
    of the above options, that it's a uid or gid. Instead, try to treat the
    argument as a user or group name first, and only try to treat it as a
    number if that fails.

    mount.cifs: don't pass "flag" options to the kernel

    When certain options are passed to the mount helper, we want to turn
    them into mountflags for the mount() syscall. There's no need to copy
    them to the options string in that case though.

    the usage() function needs it.

    cifs-utils: struct cifs_sid definition to new cifsidmap.h header

    People who want to build a plugin for the idmapping routines will need a
    header to describe the data types that they need. Add a cifsidmap.h file
    and move the struct cifs_sid definition into it, along with the
    constants needed to describe it.

    cifs-utils: new plugin architecture for ID mapping code

    Currently, the ACL-related tools in cifs-utils call into the wbclient
    libs directly in order to do their bidding. The wbclient developers want
    to get away from needing to configure winbind on the clients and instead
    allow sssd to handle the mapping in most cases.

    This patch represents an initial step in that direction. It adds a
    plugin architecture for cifs-utils, adds wrappers around the calls into
    libwbclient that find an idmap plugin library to use and then has it
    call into that plugin to do the actual ID mapping.

    The application will call into a set of routines that find the correct
    plugin and dlopen() it. Currently the plugin is located in a well-known
    location that is settable via autoconf. That location is intended to be
    a symlink that points to the real plugin (generally under $pkglibdir).

    The plugin will export a number of functions with well-known names. The
    wrappers find those by using dlsym() and then call them.
