Refresh of series that adds string option parsing to text-based mount.nfs.

I found that it is necessary to do some rather advanced lexical parsing of
the mount option string in order to handle version/protocol fallback.  So I've
implemented a data structure that can handle the parsing requirements, and
some wrapper logic to convert the mount option string to the new data
structure and then convert it back to a string before calling mount(2).

This series introduces the new facility and makes use of it for existing text-
based mount option processing (like adding "addr=" and so on).  In subsequent
patches I will make more use of the new facility.

This refresh also introduces a string tokenization facility that can handle
quoted commas, so we can deal properly with 'context="foo,bar"'.  Note that a
kernel patch will also be required for the NFS client to handle quoted commas
in the value part of NFS mount options.
