plumber: remove $plumbsrv, add optional srvname, usage check

Plumber both posts a service to /srv and sets a $plumbsrv environment
variable.  Our libplumb no longer uses $plumbsrv and nothing else
does.  It's a silly hack;  rc doesn't update /env immediately, and
scripts, which for instance set up subrios, cannot rely on it to
clean up the plumber at the end.

Instead, add the option to specify a srvname, actually check for some
common errors and print a usage string.

Thanks to Ori for input and a preliminary patch.
