Add the OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT constants from the nfs4.1 and delstid
draft into the nfs4_1.x file, and regenerate the headers and source
files. Do a mass renaming of NFS4_SHARE_WANT_* to
OPEN4_SHARE_ACCESS_WANT_* in the nfsd directory.

Rename the enum with the same name in include/linux/nfs4.h, add the
proper enum to nfs4_1.x and regenerate the headers and source files. Do
a mass rename of all NFS4_OPEN_DELEGATE_* to OPEN_DELEGATE_* in the nfsd
directory.

In the long run, the NFS development community intends to autogenerate a
lot of the XDR handling code. Both the NFS client and server include
"include/linux/nfs4.hi". That file was hand-rolled, and some of the symbols
in it conflict with the autogenerated symbols.
Add a small nfs4_1.x to Documentation that currently just has the
necessary definitions for the delstid draft, and generate the relevant
header and source files. Make include/linux/nfs4.h include the generated
include/linux/sunrpc/xdrgen/nfs4_1.h and remove the conflicting
definitions from it and nfs_xdr.h.

The generic parts of the RPC layer need to know the widths (in
XDR_UNIT increments) of the XDR data types defined for each
protocol.
As a first step, add dictionaries to keep track of the symbolic and
actual maximum XDR width of XDR types.
This makes it straightforward to look up the width of a type by its
name. The built-in dictionaries are pre-loaded with the widths of
the built-in XDR types as defined in RFC 4506.

xdr_stream_encode_u32() returns XDR_UNIT on success.
xdr_stream_decode_u32() returns zero or -EMSGSIZE, but never
XDR_UNIT.

Add a Python-based tool for translating XDR specifications into XDR
encoder and decoder functions written in the Linux kernel's C coding
style. The generator attempts to match the usual C coding style of
the Linux kernel's SunRPC consumers.
This approach is similar to the netlink code generator in
tools/net/ynl .
The maintainability benefits of machine-generated XDR code include:
- Stronger type checking
- Reduces the number of bugs introduced by human error
- Makes the XDR code easier to audit and analyze
- Enables rapid prototyping of new RPC-based protocols
- Hardens the layering between protocol logic and marshaling
- Makes it easier to add observability on demand
- Unit tests might be built for both the tool and (automatically)
for the generated code
In addition, converting the XDR layer to use memory-safe languages
such as Rust will be easier if much of the code can be converted
automatically.
