Restore TCP wrappers support

Support for TCP wrappers was dropped in OpenSSH 6.7.  See this message
and thread:

  https://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2014-April/032497.html

It is true that this reduces preauth attack surface in sshd.  On the
other hand, this support seems to be quite widely used, and abruptly
dropping it (from the perspective of users who don't read
openssh-unix-dev) could easily cause more serious problems in practice.

It's not entirely clear what the right long-term answer for Debian is,
but it at least probably doesn't involve dropping this feature shortly
before a freeze.
