libtirpc does not support the old portmapper protocol. (It does
implement the old portmap client library functions, but still uses
rpcbind protocol.) There's no easy way to add fallback support, and
it doesn't look like we can switch between libtirpc and the portmapper
client at run-time. So require use of rpcbind.
