FSAL_VFS: Replace sticky‑bit referral trigger with xattr‑based detection
(user.fs_location)
This change simplifies and clarifies NFSv4 referral handling in FSAL_VFS by removing
the sticky‑bit/no‑exec trigger and using only the presence of the extended attribute
user.fs_location to decide whether a directory is a referral junction.
The sticky‑bit mechanism overloaded traditional POSIX semantics and caused confusion
for admins and tooling (auditors, CM systems) while offering no protocol‑level benefit.
Using the fs_locations attribute per NFSv4 aligns better with the specification and
makes referral configuration explicit and self‑describing.
