New options --timeout, --init-timeout, --export-all and whitelist support were added to git-daemon, but noone bothered to also add the proper documentation. This patch aims to fix that.

This includes the time + it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent + waiting for next client's request. + --syslog:: Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
