man pages: Add note about standard process model
Calling this model the 'standard' model made a lot more sense when it was the default. Add a small note explaining that it has this name for historical reasons. (The term 'standard' may have originally been chosen for some other reason. However, it's hard to find the rationale behind the term from back in 2005) Signed-off-by: Tim Beale <timbeale@catalyst.net.nz> Reviewed-by: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>
