git-daemon(1): assorted improvements.

Browse Source 
Jari Aalto noticed a handful places in git-daemon documentation
that need to be improved.

 * --inetd makes --pid-file to be ignored, in addition to --user
   and --group

 * receive-pack service was not described at all.  We should, if
   only to warn about the security implications of it.

 * There was no example of per repository configuration.

control is desired (e.g. to allow `git-archive` to be run
against only in a few selected repositories the daemon serves),
the per-repository configuration file can be used to enable or
disable them.

upload-archive::
This serves `git-archive --remote`.
This serves `git-archive --remote`. It is disabled by
default, but a repository can enable it by setting
`daemon.uploadarchive` configuration item to `true`.
receive-pack::
This serves `git-send-pack` clients, allowing anonymous
push. It is disabled by default, as there is _no_
authentication in the protocol (in other words, anybody
can push anything into the repository, including removal
of refs). This is solely meant for a closed LAN setting
where everybody is friendly. This service can be
enabled by `daemon.receivepack` configuration item to
`true`.
