[Bug 1873166] [NEW] Consider splitting check_rpc into a separate package

[Barry Price]

Public bug reported:

There are situations in which the check_rpc utility is required, but in
which the user does not wish to also gain an rpc daemon running as root,
particularly given LP:1687930 (and perhaps LP:1430181).

Separating out the check_rpc utility into its own package seems the
simplest way to address this.

** Affects: rpcbind (Ubuntu)
