doc: convert pod files to rst
Aurelien did a big conversion of raw troff files into .pod docs in a
recent patch. That worked out pretty well, but I have some reservations
about using POD as a canonical format.
While it does make it pretty simple to write manpages, it's sort of an
obscure format, and is heavily associated with perl. Meanwhile, the
kernel is slowly moving to using ReStructured Text as its documentation
format. Given the simplicity of the cifs-utils manpages, I think we're
better suited to using rst as a canonical format, rather than pod.
This patch converts all of the .pod files in the code to .rst files,
and fixes the Makefile and autoconf to use the correct tools to turn
those into manpages.
The conversion was done with the pod2rst script, with some by-hand
modifications at the end to clean up the formatting and add the manual
section numbers. It's not perfect and could probably use a second pass
to clean up the warts in the formatting, but the content is all intact
and it should be readable.
Finally, convert the makefile rules to use standard SUFFIX rules
instead of the non-portable GNU make % style extension rules. We don't
really expect anyone to use anything other than GNU make here, but
this silences an automake warning.

commit d999610bf985f19fcc1984be95f11da7a3e88533

man: generate all man pages from POD files when buidling
Move all man pages to easily editable POD files and generate troff
source when building.
Previous .in troff file are still preprocessed before final generation
to use configured path (.pod.in -> .pod -> troff). All temporary
files (.pod.in and troff sources) are properly deleted on clean.
Remove all troff file, no need to keep generated copies under source
control.
This commit does not change the content of the man pages but makes
future editing easier.
Adds a new --enable-man/--disable-man configure option to control the
generation and installation of man pages. The option is automatically
enabled if the system supports it. Explicitly enabling it will make the
configure script fail if pod2man is not installed.

cifs: setcifsacl - Send the actual (security descriptor) buffer
size instead of the pre-allocated size
Some SMB servers such as HDS HNAS (Hitachi NAS) return error
NT Status: STATUS_INVALID_SECURITY_DESCR (0xc0000079)
during set cifs acl operation.
This happens due to mismatch in the size of actual security descriptor
being set versus the size of the security descriptor stated in the
request.
Instead of sending allocated buffer size of a security descriptor,
send the actual size of the security descriptor during set cifs acl
operation.

mount.cifs: Remove data_blob.h include
data_blob.h includes talloc.h from libtalloc, but that is only
marked as
a dependency for cifs.upcall. No symbols from that header are used by
cifs.mount, so remove it to avoid the libtalloc dependency
