Bug Description

In order to provide Ubuntu users the best user experience when accessing SMB file shares, including Azure Files, the following features from cifs-utils 6.9 release are needed:

- mounting share snapshots with GMT token (currently only SMB 100-nanoseconds time is supported which isn't convenient and straightforward) and capability to list snapshots (through new smbinfo utility),
- automatic DNS resolution on reconnect when the server IP changes (without the need to re-mount a share),
- improved and fixed setcifsacl and getcifsacl utilities.
