Add support for 'restrict anonymous=2' and make the doco give a slight hint
as to what it now does in 3.0. Needs more work, but better than documenting
the old functionality :-).
As the security benifits of this are nullified by a setting of 'guest ok' on
any share, we might want to put some documentation there too.
