MainNFSD: invert _NO_PORTMAPPER option
The fact that this is a "negative" option is confusing. Change it
to a "PORTMAPPER" option, and have it default to ON.
While I vaguely agree with the former in principle, in this day and age
we really should stop using the name PORTMAPPER. Replaced by rpcbind a
long time ago, and shouldn't be shipping with modern systems.
In ntirpc, PORTMAP is as expected the old version 2 UDP-only call. We
should kill it.
We really shouldn't encourage folks to use a UDP system that has long
had known DDoS attacks.
And we really should be migrating from NFS 2 UDP to NFS 3 TCP, as a
minimum supported version....
Also, we have talked about adding rpcbind itself to Ganesha or ntirpc.
