[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #3888: DoS checking misbehaves with unix socket

[STR Closed w/Resolution]

Source changes attached to substitute "localhost" if the path we get
doesn't start with "/" (which is probably a Linux kernel bug).

As for doing DoS checks on localhost, by doing so a local user cannot lock
out remote users which is a common concern in typical university
environments.

See the MaxClientsPerHost directive for configuring a higher limit than
the default (1/10th of MaxClients) on systems that are supporting legacy
protocols like SMB via a local helper program.
