    chflags: Add a new UF_DONTCACHE flag
    
    This internet draft (which is close to being an RFC)
    specifies a new NFSv4.2 attribute which tells the NFSv4.2
    client to not cache file data. (Similar to O_DIRECT, but
    triggered by this attribute set on the file on the NFSv4.2
    server and not by the application's open(2).)
    
    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nfsv4-uncacheable-files/
    
    This patch adds a new chflags(1) flag called UF_DONTCACHE to
    implement this.
    
    Patches for NFS and ZFS will be done separately.
