Subject: nfs-utils' .service files not usable with nfsv4-server.service

In Gentoo we allow disabling NFSv3 support, which entails nothing more
than not installing `nfs-server.service`. This has uncovered an issue
that many .service files reference `nfs-server.service` explicitly,
making them unusable with `nfsv4-server.service`.

> server ~ # grep nfs-server.service $(qlist nfs-utils | grep service)
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/rpc-statd-notify.service:After=nfs-server.service
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs-mountd.service:BindsTo=nfs-server.service
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/rpc-svcgssd.service:PartOf=nfs-server.service
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/fsidd.service:Before=nfs-mountd.service nfs-server.service
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/fsidd.service:RequiredBy=nfs-mountd.service nfs-server.service
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service:BindsTo=nfs-server.service

The only service file that depends on nfsv4-server is nfsv4-exportd:

> server ~ # grep nfsv4-server.service $(qlist nfs-utils | grep service)
> /usr/lib/systemd/system/nfsv4-exportd.service:BindsTo=nfsv4-server.service

How should `nfsv4-server.service` be used?

Thanks,
Matt
