dosutils: use NCP87 DOS info fields in NDIR

Browse Source 
Add a Client32 NCP87 helper for obtaining DOS namespace file and
subdirectory information and use it in NDIR.

The new helper reads the classic NCP87 subfunction 6 RIM_ALL DOS info
block, including timestamps, inherited rights, directory identifiers and
size metadata.

Use the NCP87 inherited rights mask for the inherited-rights column while
keeping the existing Client32 effective-rights path for the effective
rights column.  Also use the NCP87 modify, archive, last-access and
creation date fields for the /DATES display, falling back to DOS
findfirst timestamps when the NCP87 info request is not available.

Tighten the /DATES layout so the full Created/Copied timestamp remains
within an 80-column DOS screen.

The first version intentionally focuses on the common listing path. More
advanced Novell NDIR features such as sorting and restrictions are accepted

rights columns until inherited-right masks are exposed. The `/DATES` display
uses the DOS update timestamp and placeholder values for archive/access fields
until full NetWare namespace date fields are available.
