Subject: NFS man page patch that moves nordirplus/rdirplus

NFS man page patch that moves nordirplus/rdirplus from "Options for NFS
versions 2 and 3 only" to "Options supported by all versions". Its a
better fit here since this option is also needed for some NFSv4 servers.

NFS man page needs updating to clarify that nordirplus mount option
is also valid for NFSv4. Also should be moved to the section
"Options supported by all versions".

Use these options, along with the options in the first subsection above,
for NFSv4 only. They will be ignored with older versions.
