SMB: optional legacy mode (SMB1 + NTLMv1) for old clients

Supermicro BMC virtual media ("CD-ROM image" over a Windows share) only
offers the SMB1 dialect "NT LM 0.12", which Samba rejects with
server min protocol = SMB2. Add an opt-in "Allow legacy clients" SMB
setting that renders server min protocol = NT1 and
ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted. Off by default.
