Revision: 9726
innwatch: add -i flag to specify how many seconds to sleep at startup
- Also fix previous commit [9651] that did not totally fix the issue it
was supposed to fix.
- Fix the behaviour of the -f flag (it wasn't doing anything).
- Fix how the -l flag was parsed (a space was required between -l and
its argument, whils it should not have been required).
- Add new POD documentation for innwatch, and update it at the same time:
document new -i flag, and document already existing -f flag.

rc.news: no longer explicitly sleep before starting innwatch and cnfsstat
Instead, make these two scripts sleep by themselves.
Also update documentation: improve the list of actions done by rc.news,
and no longer mentions that innd should be throttled before being
stopped (this is not true - the shutdown process already does the
actions throttling does).
