Introduce a new RPC client capability that allows RPC consumers to specify
that if a connection cannot be established to the remote RPC service, a
submitted request should fail immediately.
Useful for in-kernel RPC applications that want to connect and do just one
or a handful of idempotent requests, but don't want any long waits if the
remote service is not available.
No, Tom, I'm not going to call it "squishy." :-)
Note that because the UDP transport uses an unconnected socket, this new
flag is a no-op for UDP.
