Various fixes for inetd's TCP Wrappers support:
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.
