Re: inetd support

While developping 2.9, some of the code for inetd support
was commented out by Vesa.  Finding this later myself, I
asked him about it, but he couldn't remember why he did
this, but he's feeling was that at some point, the inetd
support had been broken.

So, I made ircd print the error you get and exit immediately
when the -i flag is given.

I never found the time to investigate more, and nobody
seemed to need it..

May be Vesa can explain more, the code he commented out is
in ircd/ircd.c:

/* This cannot be right anymore..
        if (bootopt & BOOT_INETD)
            {
                aClient *tmp;
 
                tmp = make_client(NULL);
 
                tmp->fd = 0;
                tmp->flags = FLAGS_LISTEN;
                tmp->acpt = tmp;
                tmp->from = tmp;
                SetMe(tmp);
                (void)strcpy(tmp->name, "*");
                (void)inetport(tmp, "", "*", 0);
                local[0] = tmp;
            }
