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.
