Allow distributions to use the legacy behavior until they integrate an
appropriate user-space rpcbind daemon that can support IPv6 RPC services.
I tried adding some logic to fall back if (un)registering with a v4
protocol request failed, but there are too many corner cases. So I just
made it a compile-time switch that distributions can throw when they've
replaced portmapper with rpcbind.

+ Sun added support for registering RPC services at an IPv6
+ address by creating two new versions of the rpcbind protocol
+ (RFC 1833).
+
+ This option enables support in the kernel RPC server for
+ registering kernel RPC services via version 4 of the rpcbind
+ protocol. If you enable this option, you must run a portmapper
+ daemon that supports rpcbind protocol version 4.

+ If unsure, say N to get traditional behavior (register kernel

+ using the legacy Linux portmapper daemon must say N here.
