source4/smbd: add a prefork process model.
Add a pre fork process model to bound the number processes forked by
samba. Currently workers are only pre-forked for the ldap server, all
the other services have pre-fork support disabled.
When pre-fork support is disabled a new process is started for each
service, and requests are processed by that process.
This commit partially reverts commit
