commit d7bb961859a3501aec4d28842bfffb6190d19a73

    s3-auth: Remove security=share (depricated since 3.6).
    
    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.
