autofs-5.0.7 - document browse option in man page
From: Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net>
The "browse" option has remained undocumented for a long time.
Finally add a section for it to auto.master(5) making special
note of the potential performance implications.

+.I "[no]browse"
+This is an autofs specific option that is a pseudo mount option and
+so is given without a leading dash. Use of the browse option pre-creates
+mount point directories for indirect mount maps so the map keys can be
+seen in a directory listing without being mounted. Use of this option
+can cause performance problem if the indirect map is large so it should

+mode for indirect mounts but the default installed configuration overrides
+this by setting BROWSE_MODE to "no" because of the potential performance
+problem.
