I added a new node to the manual, "TCP Emacs server", and
collected/wrote documentation on the various related variables there.
Does this type of doc reorganization require its own NEWS entry?  I
didn't see the point, and so didn't write any.

As this is only tangentially related to the new feature, I made it into
a separate patch.  The updated feature patch applies on top of this
documentation patch, and references the new node.

I have hopefully clarified the wording and fixed the tagging and typos.
I noticed while writing the TCP server doc that Emacs was capitalized
elsewhere in the docs, so I updated the capitalization in the paragraphs
on the new option.

Jeez, writing good docs is hard.  Criticisms welcome.  :)

As I explained in my previous mail, both absolute and relative filenames
are supported.  There are no code changes in this updated patch set.
