Make it much more obvious that the use of NQNFS is discouraged (the
NQNFS code is ancient, bug-ridden, and should probably be removed). The wording here was very confusing; it was easy to get the impression that NQNFS is an extension to NFSv3 when in fact it just uses some NFSv3-like extensions on top of NFSv2. As witnessed by the mailing lists and PRs, some people were reading the description and deciding that NQNFS was what they wanted to use. MFC after: 1 week

+Use the Not Quite NFS (NQNFS) protocol.
+This experimental protocol is NFS Version 2 with leasing extensions
+similar to those found in NFS Version 3.
+The interoperability of this protocol with other systems is
+very limited and its implementation is not widely used.
+Do not use this option unless you know exactly what you are doing!
