So on Fedora tcpwrap is unlikely to go away soon.

However, I figure this doesn't have to stop us from killing it in
systemd though, which I now did. This doesn't mean much however, since
people who want tcpwrap support can actually easily restore it by
plugging tcpd into systemd, the same way is this was traditionally done
with inetd. Or with other words, we now support it exactly as good or
bad as inetd supported it before us, which hence should be perfectly
fine.

I killed this now rather than wait for longer simply to make the
transition less painful. Before people start making more use of this I
really would like to get rid of this, before it becomes to hard to
remove this again.
