[PATCH storage v2 0/2] nfs: use rpcinfo as a showmounts fallback for nfs3

[Maximiliano Sandoval <m.sandoval@proxmox.com>]

See the respective commit messages.

This came up in enterprise support. In this case the NFS appliance only
supported NFSv3 and the showmounts command failed, but rpcbind
succeeded (with -T tcp).

This possibility was discussed with Friedrich and Fiona off-list.

Tested:
 - Created a NFS share on host "B"
 - On host "A" a NFS storage was added (using B's share) with --options vers=3
 - Ran `ss -tulpn4 |grep mountd` on host B to see ports used by showmounts
 - The ports listed were blocked on host "A", so that showmount fails:

   /sbin/showmount --no-headers --exports $B
   rpc mount export: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Operation not permitted

 - Ran `pvesm status` on A and checked that the NFS storage is available
 - Created a VM on A with a disk image in the the NFS storage

The later two operations would have failed without the changes here.

Differences from v1:
 - the name of the helper function was fixed

  nfs: create a helper to run rpcinfo commands
  nfs: use rpcinfo as a showmounts fallback for nfs3
