SUNRPC: Provide a new API for registering transport implementations

To allow transport capabilities to be loaded dynamically, provide an API
for registering and unregistering the transports with the RPC client.
Eventually xprt_create_transport() will be changed to search the list of
registered transports when initializing a fresh transport.
