SUNRPC: New xdr_streams XDR decoder API

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

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