[Xymon] Documentation doesn't match behavior

The man file for hosts.cfg describes the .default. option and explicitly
states which tags are accepted. I have observed that with 4.3.17,
delayred and delayyellow are also accepted. I don't object at all to
having them accepted, but the documentation and the code should be
reconciled.
(I have not investigated 4.3.19 to see if this has already been done)
As of 4.3.17, the man file says:
> NOTE: The ".default." host entry will only accept the following tags - others are silently ignored:
> NOCOLUMNS
> COMMENT
> DESCR
> CLASS
> dialup
> testip
> nonongreen
> nodisp
> noinfo
> notrends
> TRENDS
> NOPROPRED
> NOPROPYELLOW
> NOPROPPURPLE
> NOPROPACK
> REPORTTIME
> WARNPCT
> NET
> noclear
> nosslcert
> ssldays
> DOWNTIME
> depends
> noping
> noconn
> trace
> notrace
> HIDEHTTP
> browser
> pulldata
