1) Handle forking and non-forking internal services correctly.
Turn on wrapping for internal services because it works now.
2) Preserve server names for each service on HUP.
3) Honour hosts_options(5) severity option.
4) Add IMPLEMENTATION NOTES section to clarify TCP Wrappers
usage and limitations.
This change may cause previously allowed builtin services (e.g. daytime)
to be denied in existing configurations.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Changes to allow inted to control the number of servers to
start on each service. This is a defence against a denial of service attack
in which the system is made unusable by
an external party. It also allows the behaviour of
small memory systems to be more accuratly predicted, by
bounding the extent to which processes can multiply.
