Add man-page describing /etc/nfs.conf
It may seem a little odd placing this in the "systemd" directory,
but it is a conveninent place, and /etc/nfs.conf was added in
part to help with systemd integration.

Most configuration can also be passed to +processes via command line arguments, but it can be more convenient to +have a central file. In particular, this encourages consistent +configuration across different processes. +.PP +When command line options are provided, they override values set in +this file. When this file does not specify a particular parameter, +and no command line option is provided, each tool provides its own +default values. +.PP +The file format supports multiple sections, each of which can contain +multiple value assignments. A section is introduced by a line +containing the section name enclosed in square brackets, so +.RS +.B [global] +.RE +would introduce a section called +.BR global . +A value assignment is a single line that has the name of the value, an +equals sign, and a setting for the value, so +.RS +.B threads = 4 +.RE +would set the value named +.B threads +in the current section to +.BR 4 . +Leading and trailing spaces and tab +are ignored, as are spaces and tabs surrounding the equals sign. +.PP +Any line starting with +.RB \*(lq # \*(rq +or +.RB \*(lq ; \*(rq +is ignored, as is any blank line. +.PP +Lookup of section and value names is case-insensitive. + +.SH SECTIONS +The following sections are known to various programs, and can contain +the given named values. +.TP +.B nfsdcltrack +Recognized values: +.BR storagedir . + +The +.B nfsdcltrack +program is run directly by the Linux kernel and there is no +opportunity to provide command line arguments, so the configuration +file is the only way to configure this program.
