[LTP] [RFC] rpcbind: detect support of remote calls

Hi Steve,
Ricardo found that TI-RPC rpc_pmap_rmtcall [1] tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall [2] tests are
failing when they use rpcbind *without* --enable-rmtcalls (the default since
2018, see 2e9c289 ("rpcbind: Disable remote calls by default") [3]).
TL;DR: Is there a way to detect missing support from rpcbind? Because we cannot
blindly expect that timeout means disabled remote calls (it could be also
caused by regression). Other option is just to disable these tests by default
(detection is preferred).
# export PATH="/opt/ltp/testcases/bin:$PATH"
# rpc_test.sh -s tirpc_svc_4 -c tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall
...
tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000
rpc_test 1 TFAIL: tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000 failed unexpectedly
As the name of the test suggests they are using pmap_rmtcall() and rpcb_rmtcall().
A bit debug info.
Modified rpc_test.sh to use strace:

I see the test timeouts (full strace output below):

poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 1000) = 0 (Timeout)
Using rpcbind 1.2.7-1.2 (from Tumbleweed), output when run with debug mode:

Obviously, if I compile rpcbind with --enable-rmtcalls and run it, both tests work:
$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug --enable-warmstarts --enable-rmtcalls --with-rpcuser=rpc --with-nss-modules="files usrfiles"
$ make -j`nproc`
# ./rpcbind -w -d -f
# rpc_test.sh -s tirpc_svc_4 -c tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall
...
rpc_test 1 TINFO: using libtirpc: yes
tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000
rpc_test 1 TPASS: tirpc_rpcb_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000 passed as expected
# rpc_test.sh -s rpc_svc_1 -c rpc_pmap_rmtcall
...
rpc_pmap_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000
rpc_test 1 TPASS: rpc_pmap_rmtcall 10.0.0.2 536875000 passed as expected
And the rpcbind outpt contains also:
rpcbind: rpcbproc_callit_com: original XID 683f1705, new XID f68e200
rpcbind: my_svc_run: polled on forwarding fd 7, netid udp - calling handle_reply
Also, wouldn't it be worth mention --enable-rmtcalls in functions' man pages?
(Or have I overlooked that in man?)
Thanks for any hint.
Kind regards,
Petr
