SUNRPC: rpcbind actually interprets r_owner string

RFC 1833 has little to say about the contents of r_owner; it only
specifies that it is a string, and states that it is used to control
who can UNSET an entry.

Our port of rpcbind (from Sun) assumes this string contains a numeric
UID value, not alphabetical or symbolic characters, but checks this
value only for AF_LOCAL RPCB_SET or RPCB_UNSET requests.  In all other
cases, rpcbind ignores the contents of the r_owner string.

The reference user space implementation of rpcb_set(3) uses a numeric
UID for all SET/UNSET requests (even via the network) and an empty
string for all other requests.  We emulate that behavior here to
maintain bug-for-bug compatibility.
