socket-proxyd: rename from saproxy
The thing is a daemon, hence needs a "d" prefix. Also, we tend to not abbreviate names of background components unnecessarily, since they are not primary commands people type. Then, the fact that this thing does socket actviation is mostly in implementationd detail for the proxy. Also, do some minor indenting clean-ups and other code updates.

+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command> provides a proxy
+ to socket-activate services that do not yet support
+ native socket activation. On behalf of the daemon,
+ the proxy inherits the socket from systemd, accepts
+ each client connection, opens a connection to the server
+ for each client, and then bidirectionally forwards
+ data between the two.</para>
+ <para>This utility's behavior is similar to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>socat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> </citerefentry>.
+ The main differences for <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command>
+ are support for socket activation with
+ <literal>Accept=false</literal> and an event-driven
+ design that scales better with the number of
+ connections.</para>
