Added a flag to disable xattr hlink optimization.
I added a compatibility flag for protocol 31 that will let both sides know if they should be using the xattr optimization that attempted to avoid sending xattr info for hardlinked files. Since this optimization was causing some issues, this compatibility flag will ensure that both sides know if they should be trying to use the optimization or not.
