Disable proofd file server for XRootD>=5

[smuzaffar]

Patch is needed in order to backport the XrootD>=5 in to root 6.12/14. This basically disables the XProofD file server and client support for XRootD versions>=5. Thanks to Christopher H Green and Kyle Knoepfel for providing this patch.

+externals

@perrotta @rappoccio any objections on merging this for CMSSW 10.6.X . This change allows us to backport xrootd 5 to 10.6.X

[cmsbuild]

This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next cms/v6-14-00-patches/8ba6b0f IBs (but tests are reportedly failing). This pull request will now be reviewed by the release team before it's merged. @perrotta, @dpiparo, @rappoccio (and backports should be raised in the release meeting by the corresponding L2)

[rappoccio]

+1

Yes, please merge this. Once we get them all together, I assume the checks will pass?

[iarspider]

@rappoccio the failed unit test is not related to this PR, I think it's just a glitch. I will restart the test just in case

[iarspider]

please test

[smuzaffar]

no need to test it any more. Anyway test should have been requested for CMSSW_10_6_X :-)
