Make credentials file parameters consistent with command line parameters

This patch makes the mount.cifs credentials file parameters consistent with
the command line parameters to remove ambiguity between the command line
parameter format and the credentials file format. That is, it parses for
both short and long form of the 'username', 'password', and 'domain'
parameters.  This patch is against the current cifs-utils-4.2.

I'm also thinking of adding a second patch that allows for parsing a
"domain/user", "domain%user" and "domain/user%password" formats as allowed
from the command line.

Comments are appreciated.

Thanks for the patch. It looks like a reasonable change but the patch
is malformed and doesn't apply. You've also sent it as a MIME encoded
attachment. The ideal way to do this is to commit your patch to a git
tree, use git-format-patch to generate the patch and git-send-email to
send it.

Nevermind...I was able to hand-merge the patch and will go ahead and
commit it to the repo. It'll save some time and effort in the future
though if you submit patches that can be pulled into the repo directly.

Thanks,

Thank you.  I have to become familiar with git... I'm more of a subversion
guy, myself (Linus says that makes me stupid and ugly... I can't disagree).
:)

On an unrelated note...
Do you have any thoughts on expanding the parsing to recognize the other
command line formats?  I'd like to see full compatibility between the
credentials file and the command line, so long as it doesn't become the
breeding ground for subtle bugs.
