rS367027: Update man page for -R option added by r376026.
rS367026: Add "-R" option to tell mountd to not register with rpcbind.
Summary

rpcbind is now considered a security risk for some sites.
Since an NFSv4 only NFS server does not need rpcbind,
it makes sense to have an option that implements this.

This patch adds a "-R" option that disables the Mount
protocol (not used by NFSv4) and does not register
with rpcbind.

Changes are required to /etc/rc.d/mountd and /etc/rc.d/nfsd.
Those will be in a separate commit.

Test Plan

Tried an assortment of configurations, both with
and without -R, to see that it works.

Fix a bug where the sig_mask being used as the
argument to sigsuspend() was set to the wrong
bits, where SIGHUP was blocked.

The nesting is quite deep at this point, it would probably make sense to break things up a little but that's orthogonal to this change.

It looks fine to me, but I'm not very knowledgeable in this area.
