stats settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

  I've been thinking about a "stats settings" that effectively dumps
the settings struct.  It helps in those cases where someone is asking
questions and you want to know something about their config.

  It also helped to write tests for the -C and -b: arguments that got
messed up specifically (as pointed out by Clint Webb).  I was able to
write a simple startup test that verifies that -C properly sets the
CAS setting where we want it, and -b: properly sets the tcp backlog
where we want it.

  stats settings, documentation and tests are in my stats_settings
branch and visible here:

    http://github.com/dustin/memcached/commit/0a83f5235d754543f602bc1aa67...

  The option tests and fixes are here:

    http://github.com/dustin/memcached/commit/d038aa38b8bfc4ae5abbe007929...

  In introducing these, I noticed that we are a bit hopeful in buffer
sizes when processing stats (as we need to do proper protocol-specific
termination).  Overall, I think the stats code may need a bit of work
to be safer, but this particular code is no worse.
