SUNRPC: Add a helper rpcauth_lookup_generic_cred()
The NFSv4 protocol allows clients to negotiate security protocols on the
fly in the case where an administrator on the server changes the export
settings and/or in the case where we may have a filesystem migration event.
Instead of having the NFS client code cache credentials that are tied to a
particular AUTH method it is therefore preferable to have a generic credential
that can be converted into whatever AUTH is in use by the RPC client when
the read/write/sillyrename/... is put on the wire.
We do this by means of the new "generic" credential, which basically just
caches the minimal information that is needed to look up an RPCSEC_GSS,
AUTH_SYS, or AUTH_NULL credential.
