After inclusion of NFSv4.1 it seems that now you can specify an NFSv4
mount with either "-tnfs4" or "-overs=4". I have prepared a patch that
moves "nfsvers/vers" from "Options for NFS versions 2 and 3 only" to
"Options supported by all versions".

Update NFS man page to state that "nfsvers=/vers=" is suitable for all
NFS version.
Move from "Options for NFS versions 2 and 3 only" to "Options
supported by all versions".
