We decided awhile ago that servers would take the name of the protocol and
clients would have some extension appended. For example, we have the 'iscsi'
provider, and will have 'http' and 'ftp' providers. By extension, the NFS
server-side providers will be called nfsv3 and nfsv4.

We thought about having a single provider for both client and server, but
thought that would be confusing or would lead to extremely long probe names.
