Added the hosts_max_try_hardlimit option. (The removed file is left over
from a previous update; I screwed up the CVS-ing.)

(2) The default for smtp_banner uses $smtp_active_hostname instead
of $primary_hostname.
+22. The hosts_max_try_hardlimit option (default 50) is added to the smtp
+ transport. Exim will never try more than this number of IP addresses; if it
+ hits this limit and they are all timed out, the message is bounced, even
+ though not all IP addresses may have been tried. Compare hosts_max_try,
+ which is a "soft" limit, because Exim will exceed it when hosts time out.
+ The new limit is a protection against lunatic DNS configurations with
+ hundreds of IP addresses.
