Upon return of a write delegation, the server will almost always bump the
change attribute. Ensure that we pick up that change so that we don't
invalidate our data cache unnecessarily.

According to RFC3530 we're supposed to cache the change attribute
at the time the client receives a write delegation.
If the inode is clean, a CB_GETATTR callback by the server to the
client is supposed to return the cached change attribute.
If, OTOH, the inode is dirty, the client should bump the cached
change attribute by 1.

Delegations allow us to cache posix and BSD locks, however when the
delegation is recalled, we need to "flush the cache" and send
the cached LOCK requests to the server.
This patch sets up the mechanism for doing so.

If the data cache has been marked as potentially invalid by nfs_refresh_inode,
we should invalidate it rather than assume that changes are due to our own
activity.
Also ensure that we always start with a valid cache before declaring it
to be protected by a delegation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
