file-has-acl: improve recent NFSv4 support
This fixes a link failure with emacsclient on GNU/Linux. This program wants file_has_acl but none of the other ACL primitives, so it doesn’t link acl-internal.o; this way it doesn’t need to link with -lacl. While I was at it I reviewed the recent changes, fixed some unlikely overflow bugs, and adjusted to GNU style. * doc/acl-nfsv4.txt: Remove. Its contents are now in a comment in lib/file-has-acl.c. * lib/acl-internal.c, lib/acl-internal.h: Move recent changes relating to acl_nfs4_nontrivial to lib/file-has-acl.c, so that there is no trouble linking programs that need only file_has_acl. * lib/file-has-acl.c (acl_nfs4_nontrivial): Move here from lib/acl-internal.c, so that we needn't link -lacl in programs that want only file_has_acl, such as emacsclient. Do not assume a char buffer is aligned for uint32_t. Check more carefully for buffer read overrun. Allow up to 6 ACEs, since other code does; but check that they’re distinct. Avoid integer overflow. Use memcmp rather than strncmp to compare memory blocks. (file_has_acl): Preserve initial errno instead of setting to 0. Allocate a bit more room for trivial ACL buffer. Use EINVAL for botchedk NFSv4 ACLs (which shouldn’t happen).

-General introduction:
- https://linux.die.net/man/5/nfs4_acl
-
-The NFSv4 acls are defined in RFC7530 and as such, every NFSv4 server supporting ACLs
-will support this kind of ACLs (note the difference from POSIX draft ACLs)
-
-The ACLs can be obtained via the nfsv4-acl-tools, i.e.
-
-$ nfs4_getfacl <file>
-
-# file: <file>
-A::OWNER@:rwaDxtTnNcCy
-A::GROUP@:rwaDxtTnNcy
-A::EVERYONE@:rwaDxtTnNcy
-
-Gnulib is aiming to only provide a basic support of these, i.e. recognize trivial
-and non-trivial ACLs
