Description of problem:
When running ipa-client-automount, I see failures.  In debug mode I see this:
Backing up system configuration file '/etc/sysconfig/nfs'
-> Not backing up - '/etc/sysconfig/nfs' doesn't exist
Raised exception [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/sysconfig/nfs'
Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.state'
Loading StateFile from '/var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore/sysrestore.state'
IPA server: host-8-252-16.testrelm.test
Location: nis
Installation failed. Rolling back changes.
IPA automount is not configured on this system
If I touch /etc/sysconfig/nfs beforehand, it works.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-client-4.7.1-7.module+el8+2554+7a4ca32b.x86_64
nfs-utils-2.3.3-13.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always. At least in some test environments.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Setup IPA server and some automount map entries
2.  ipa-client-automount --debug --server=$SERVER --location=$LOCATION -U
Actual results:
Fails
Expected results:
Works and sets up client properly.
Additional info:

/etc/sysconfig/nfs is deprecated, we should adapt ipa-client-automount.
