svc: Add an svc transport class



The transport class (svc_xprt_class) represents a type of transport, e.g.
udp, tcp, rdma.  A transport class has a unique name and a set of transport
operations kept in the svc_xprt_ops structure.

A transport class can be dynamically registered and unregisterd. The
svc_xprt_class represents the module that implements the transport
type and keeps reference counts on the module to avoid unloading while
there are active users.

The endpoint (svc_xprt) is a generic, transport independent endpoint that can
be used to send and receive data for an RPC service. It inherits it's
operations from the transport class.

A transport driver module registers and unregisters itself with svc sunrpc
by calling svc_reg_xprt_class, and svc_unreg_xprt_class respectively.
