Revert "net: Use samba default command line arguments."
This reverts commit fb262f79fab00374023e59476e8d05a1015a7041 and related commits c36031778e1983ddb11d3e1fcab35e738dbf94bc 72fd5fa6bb78a054fad5e5ebe19a0c0387a7d45b and 38cd0e086f50ce54d88a19aa5a6803469af90489 This change caused more trouble than it solved. We need to do this differently. Reverting so we don't accidently release this.

Authentication Changes

-net Command Changes
-===================
-
-The net command now accepts the common command line parameters most other Samba
-command line utilities use, with a couple of remaining differences:
-
--l still gives long output for net commands supporting the --long flag. This was
-more useful than the common --log-base parameter.
-
--i still tells net to read data from stdin (like --stdin) instead of toggling
-the common --scope flag.
-
--S still tells net the server to connect to (like --server) instead of
-negotiating the common --signing flag. As -S is probably used by most scripts
-doing net rpc commands, this would have been a high-impact change for little
-gain.
-
-This change was mainly done to unify the authentification options. Here, one
-flag changed it's meaning and one useful flag was added.
-
--N used to be the short version of --ntname. It now matches the Samba default of
---no-pass. Use this to stop net from prompting for a password if you want
-anonymous authentication.
-
--A --authentication-file now takes an authentication file with the username and
-password you want net to use, avoiding a password prompt as with plain -U user
-or having to give a password on the command line as in -U user%pass.
-
-Last but not least net now always falls back to your local unix username if no
--U is specified and a username is needed. net rpc commands will now prompt for a
-password unless one is specified using either -U user%pass or -A auth_file.
