NFS: Added support to turn off the NFSv3 READDIRPLUS RPC.

READDIRPLUS can be a performance hindrance when the client is working with
large directories. In addition, some servers still have bugs in their
implementations (e.g. Tru64 returns wrong values for the fsid).

Add a mount flag to enable users to turn it off at mount time following the
implementation in Apple's NFS client.
