    doc: restore section `Inherited Ports'
    
    Previously, the section `Inherited Ports' was commented out.  This was
    done, as the functionality was unused by the Hurd.  The functions
    `mach_ports_register' and `mach_ports_lookup' were never removed, and
    are exposed to user space.
    
    This patch brings the documentation back and adds a remark at the top,
    that the section documents the original intentions for this interface.
    
    I chose bringing back the documentation over removing the
    functionality because I like to make use of it as a method for service
    discovery that is deliberately orthogonal to the way the service
    lookup is usually done in the Hurd.  This can be used to implement
    robust low-level debugging facilities.
    
    * doc/mach.texi: Restore section `Inherited Ports'.
