I think the best solution for this problem is to change the kernel to
first try to send to an abstract socket: "\0/run/rpcbind.sock".  Only if
that fails do we try "/run/rpcbind.sock".

We also change rpcbind to listen on both
   ListenStream=@/run/rpcbind.sock
   ListenStream=/run/rpcbind.sock

Abstract sockets are local to a network namespace, while non-abstract
Unix domain sockets are local to a file and so can only be local to a
mount namespace.  We clearly need rpcbind lookup from the kernel to be
netns-local, so abstract is the obvious choice.
