nt pipe option

This option isn't meant to be enabled by anyone in a production
system. It is there to help us debug systems. When someone writes in
with a mysterious bug which wasn't in 1.9.18 then we can get them to
set "nt pipe support = no" or "nt smb support = no" and see if the
behaviour changes. That will help narrow things down. For example,
Samba doesn't work with NT5 beta2 unless you turn off NT smb support.
Knowing that should allow Jeremy to work out what's wrong.

I don't mind you making this option a little bit more sophisticated,
but not much. It would defeat the purpose if we couldn't disable
anything that has the slightest chance of causing problems.
