SUNRPC: Provide functions for managing universal addresses
Introduce a set of functions in the kernel's RPC implementation for converting between a socket address and either a standard presentation address string or an RPC universal address. The universal address functions will be used to encode and decode RPCB_FOO and NFSv4 SETCLIENTID arguments. The other functions are part of a previous promise to deliver shared functions that can be used by upper-layer protocols to display and manipulate IP addresses. The kernel's current address printf formatters were designed specifically for kernel to user-space APIs that require a particular string format for socket addresses, thus are somewhat limited for the purposes of sunrpc.ko. The formatter for IPv6 addresses, %pI6, does not support short-handing or scope IDs. Also, these printf formatters are unique per address family, so a separate formatter string is required for printing AF_INET and AF_INET6 addresses.
