This patch removes security=share, which Samba implemented by matching
the per-share password provided by the client in the Tree Connect with
a selection of usernames supplied by the client, the smb.conf or
guessed from the environment.
The rationale for the removal is that for the bulk of security=share
users, we just we need a very simple way to run a 'trust the network'
Samba server, where users mark shares as guest ok. This is still
supported, and the smb.conf options are documented at
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Public_Samba_Server
At the same time, this closes the door on one of the most arcane areas
of Samba authentication.
Naturally, full user-name/password authentication remain available in
security=user and above.
This includes documentation updates for username and only user, which
now only do a small amount of what they used to do.

This allows smb.conf files from either the samba3 or samba4 tradition
to come to the same value of server role, using the information in the
smb.conf file.
This is important so that tools like 'net getlocalsid' work against a
Samba4 AD installation (yes, users have tried this).

this will allow us to move the server roles in common, which will
make it much easier to mix s3/s4 calls in the one C file
