Just two options imply --syslog, --detach & --inetd, unless I've missed
something, anyway 2 != several, so maybe just say "The --detach and
--inetd options imply --syslog ...".

This patch looks good, but I wonder if with the rise of systemd there's
a good reason to flip the default around to not having other stuff imply
--syslog, and have users specify this implictly, then we won't need a
--no-syslog option.
But maybe that'll break too much stuff.
