[PATCH] Map all pserver users to a given user

[Philippe Troin]

The enclosed patch adds a new keyword 'MapAllUsersTo' to the
CVSROOT/config repository file. The behavior is:

   users connecting via the pserver will get mapped to this system
   user unless they are present in the CVSROOT/passwd file and the
   CVSROOT/passwd file contains a third field giving another system
   user to map to.

This is particularly useful when one wants to avoid duplicating the
password information from /etc/passwd to CVSROOT/passwd, yet still map
all connecting users to a single system user for easier repository
management.

This patch has been used with cvs in a production environment (10+
people hammering on a repository) and applies on top of cvs-1.11.1p1.
