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'.
