NFS: Readdir plus in v4
By requsting more attributes during a readdir, we can mimic the readdir plus
operation that was in NFSv3.
To test, I ran the command `ls -lU --color=none` on directories with various
numbers of files.  Without readdir plus, I see this:
n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000
--------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------

total   | 111       | 1,021     | 10,163    | 101,583   | 1,015,784
With readdir plus enabled, I see this:
n files |    100    |   1,000   |  10,000   |  100,000  | 1,000,000
--------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------
real    | 0m00.115s | 0m00.206s | 0m01.079s | 0m12.521s | 2m07.528s

sys     | 0m00.007s | 0m00.020s | 0m00.120s | 0m01.357s | 0m17.556s
access  | 3         | 1         | 1         | 1         | 7
getattr | 2         | 1         | 1         | 1         | 1
lookup  | 4         | 3         | 3         | 3         | 3
readdir | 6         | 62        | 630       | 6,300     | 62,993
total   | 15        | 67        | 635       | 6,305     | 63,004
Readdir plus disabled has about a 16x increase in the number of rpc calls and
is 4 - 5 times slower on large directories.
