docs/vfs_catia: rework man page
The vfs_catia man page refers to two configuration variants, one
applying to Samba <= 3.4.x and one referring to Samba >= 3.5.x.
This change removes all information specific to Samba <= 3.4.x, as such
versions have been discontinued.
This change also improves formatting and nomenclature: configuration
parameters, examples and caveats are split into separate sections, and
server-side/client-side terms replace the ambiguous use of Unix and
Windows.
