[cups.general] Unable to force server name

[Michael R Sweet]

We still use the ServerName value when advertising via hardcoded  
BrowseAddress values (i.e. not @LOCAL but 255.255.255.255) and for SLP  
and LDAP sharing.  There are also some other uses that you'll be  
seeing in future releases, but suffice it to say that we're trying to  
stick with auto-discovered values as much as possible since they work  
better for both "casual" and "complicated" network configurations.
