rS361000: inetd(8): Provide HTTP proxy example using netcat
Summary

One of the fortunes that are included in freebsd-tips talks about how
the superserver can be used to proxy connections with netcat, but there are
no examples provided. This commit adds an example with comment explaining what it does.

Test Plan

Ran igor, only got some probably-erroneous feedback.
