[AFS3-std] struct uvldbentry field spares1 -> matchindex

Prior to the release of OpenAFS, IBM/Transarc changed the name of the
struct nvldbentry field "spares1" to "matchindex".  They failed to
rename the equivalent struct uvldbentry field even though it is used for
the same purpose.   The inherited src/vlserver/vldbint.xg file even has
the following comment in the struct uvldbentry.

   afs_int32       spares1;                        /* The server index
we matched */

This e-mail is a formal request for a rename of this field in the
registry.  A patchset to OpenAFS has been submitted for this change as
http://gerrit.openafs.org/#change,1741.

Thank you.
