NFS: Update help text for CONFIG_NFS_FS

Clean up: refresh the help text for Kconfig items related to the NFS
client.  Remove obsolete URLs, and make the language consistent among
the options.

Also move the ROOT_NFS config option next to the options related to the
NFS client.

-	  programs nfsd and mountd (but does not need to have NFS file system

-	  Implement the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension for manipulating POSIX

+	  Some NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
+	  Sun added to Solaris but never became an official part of the
+	  NFS version 3 protocol.  This protocol extension allows
+	  applications on NFS clients to manipulate POSIX Access Control
+	  Lists on files residing on NFS servers.  NFS servers enforce

+
+	  Choose Y here if your NFS server supports the Solaris NFSv3 ACL
+	  protocol extension and you want your NFS client to allow

+
+	  Most NFS servers don't support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol
