[PATCH] ftp/pure-ftpd: add @sample keywords and fix rc command_args

This is intended behaviour by upstream. See https://github.com/jedisct1/pure-ftpd/blob/15246910744807685fe00e1b301bd8e68123ed16/README.Configuration-File#L30-L31

Command line flags are intended to be mutually exclusive with using a configuration file. Thus, to reflect this, I've attached a patch that forces the pureftpd_flags variable to be mutually exclusive with pureftpd_config. Please see if this is suitable.
