nfsd: allow server scope to be set with config or command line.nfs-utils-2-6-3-rc4

NFSv4.1 and later require the server to report a "scope".  Servers with
the same scope are expected to understand each other's state ids etc,
though may not accept them - this ensure there can be no
misunderstanding.  This is helpful for migration.

Servers with different scope are known to be different and if a server
appears to change scope on a restart, lock recovery must not be
attempted.

It is important for fail-over configurations to have the same scope for
all server instances.  Linux NFSD sets scope to host name.  It is common
for fail-over configurations to use different host names on different
server nodes.  So the default is not good for these configurations and
must be over-ridden.

As discussed in
  https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/issues/1644
some HA management tools attempt to address this with calls to "unshare"
and "hostname" before running "rpc.nfsd".  This is unnecessarily
cumbersome.

This patch adds a "-S" command-line option and nfsd.scope config value
so that the scope can be set easily for nfsd.
