SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR encoder API

Now that all client-side XDR encoder routines use xdr_streams, there
should be no need to support the legacy calling sequence [rpc_rqst *,
__be32 *, RPC arg *] anywhere.  We can construct an xdr_stream in the
generic RPC code, instead of in each encoder function.

Also, all the client-side encoder functions return 0 now, making a
return value superfluous.  Take this opportunity to convert them to
return void instead.

This is a refactoring change.  It should not cause different behavior.
