about libnfs api v2 change

[chenrui333]

👋 I saw there is libnfs v6 API compatibility change, but did not see it is part of the recent release, any reason why? Thanks!

relates to Homebrew/homebrew-core#200785

I tested an update to Kodi last night.

• libnfs: update to 6.0.x and api v2 LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv#9568
• sahlberg/libnfs@5e8f7ce
• LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@5303bd9

and was looking at this this evening - as mpd is a LE addon.

I did just check and the patch doesn’t apply cleanly to 0.23.16

[MaxKellermann]

A lot has changed in the NFS/storage code, and a backport will probably not happen. I hope I can finish 0.24 very soon so we don't waste more time on 0.23.
