SMB1/SMB2.0 can be disabled fairly easily in the Linux client build,
but there are occasional requests for it due to SMB1/CIFS still being
used to access some old devices. Also some of the SMB1 code was moved
to SMB1 specific files to make that clearer, and to make the module
smaller when SMB1/SMB2.0 is not enabled. Even when SMB1/SMB2.0 is
configured in the build, in the future it may be useful to not load
the SMB1 specific files (put them in a helper module that contains all
of the SMB1 specific code, rather in the main filesystem module)
unless the user specifies "vers=1.0" on mount.
