[Bug 1339805] [NEW] improve feedback of showmount command

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

Invoking <code>showmount -e 192.168.0.1</code> gives the output
<code>clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered</code> when one of the
services rpc.svcgssd, rpc.mountd, nfsd or rpc.rquotad isn't
started[http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/82290/linux-clnt-create-
rpc-program-not-registered] or due to another error. The output could be
much more helpful, because currently it isn't at all.

It should at least be recognizable whether the error occured locally or
on remote communication point.

** Affects: nfs-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:
