e5b04cee36 Fix documentation of clnt_control()'s CL{GET|SET}_{VERS|XID} to
reflect that they actually require a u_int32_t *, which is not
 necessarily the same as an unsigned long *.

886ee6f6a5 clnt_vc_create() has const scalar arguments that wind up being modified,
fix it (make them non-const) and update the associated documentation.

db7534cfa2 Fixed bitrot in synopsis. The TI-RPC changes gave mounds of it, mainly
inconsistently weird const poisoning in the man pages relative to the
headers.

32de72d27f Add a new clnt_control() request `CLSET_CONNECT' that controls
whether or not connect(2) is used for UDP client sockets. The default
is not to connect(), so existing clients will see no change in
behaviour.

The use of connect(2) for UDP clients has a number of advantages:
only replies from the intended address are received, and ICMP errors
pertaining to the connection are reported back to the application.

8360efbd6c Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

  Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

  Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
  has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
  into BSD socket calls.

  This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
  however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
  only made available after this porting effort was underway).

  The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
  1999 release.

  Several key features are introduced with this update:
    Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
    safe)
    Updated, a more modern interface.

  Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
  the recent RPC API.

  There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
  pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
  library.

  While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
  long of a wait.

  New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
  an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
  set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
  than the old portmapper.

  Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
  to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

  Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
  which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.
