Enable vfs_fruit module in Samba for Mac compatibility

[AluminumMonster]

Starting in Unraid 6.2, the bundled version of Samba includes the new vfs_fruit module which increases SMB compatibility with the Mac operating system, however it is not included in the default Samba config. Apple has announced AFP will be deprecated in future versions of MacOS, so SMB compatibility will become critical. I've included some additional detail in this forum post:

...which shows how to enable it for testing purposes and the module's benefits. I'm not sure what ramifications are, if any, to the files stored on Unraid by enabling this option however my early testing is positive. I'd like to request that this module be enabled by default or have the ability to be enabled via GUI in Unraid.

Hi Aluminum and thank you for this suggestion!  We just tested ourselves and yes, this is a pretty substantial performance impact.  I've forwarded this to the team for review for future inclusion.
