check all the default values in innfeed.conf (documentation, sample, source code)

* Change the default dynamic method from 0 to 3.  It already was the
recommended value in the documentation, and the default value in the sample
innfeed.conf file.

* Change the default use-mmap setting from true to false.  It already was
the recommended value in the documentation.  The value of this parameter
is only used when innfeed is given file names to send instead of storage
API tokens, which is a fairly rare use case.

* No longer generate an error message (logged in news.err) when a parameter
is not defined in innfeed.conf.  It has a default value, so no need to
warn the user.  (Also updated in innreport.)

* Add a "noreturn" hint to the compiler for the dump_core() function.

* Homogeneize tape.c with host.c for the default values of backlog-limit,
backlog-factor and backlog-limit-highwater.

* Log a few more parameters in innfeed.status:  "Stats period", "Stats
reset", "Debug shrinking", "Fast exit", "stdio-fdmax", "reconnection time",
"max reconnection time", "DNS retry period", "DNS expire period", "port num",
"force IPv4", "backlog highwater", "highwater queue".

* Documentation fixes:
- "pid-file" is relative to "pathrun", and not "backlog-directory";
- "log-file" is relative to "pathlog", and not "backlog-directory";
- "initial-sleep" is a global value, and not per-peer;
- "close-period" is a per-peer value, and not a global value;
- "max-reconnect-time" is mispelled once in the documentation;
- specify that *no* keys are mandatory.  They are all optional, and have
a default value (all of them are now mentioned in the documentation).

* Documentation additions:
- If a file named "innfeed.debug" exists in the "pathlog" directory,
then "debug-level" is automatically set to 1.  This is a cheap way of
avoiding continual reloading of the "newsfeeds" file when debugging.
Note that debug messages still go to "log-file";
- "backlog-directory" is relative to "pathspool";
- "status-file" can be set to an absolute path.
