[PATCH] doc/book/book/ch06.xml: Correct /etc/services entry

Here's a tiny correction to chapter six, section three of the Subversion book.
The IANA registered port-numbers document[0] should be used as the definitive
source for entries into /etc/services.  I noticed that the protocol svnserve
uses is actually listed as 'svn', rather than 'svnserve' as documented in the
Subversion book.

Log message:
   * doc/book/book/ch06.xml:  Bring /etc/services entry in section 3 into
                              line with the IANA's port-numbers document

Well I wasn't around when you put it into the tree.  So that's pretty
hard to do.  I'm okay with living with svn.  I just still think the name
is confusing.

The protocol's name is "svn".  The time to object to that was back when
I put it into the tree, not now.  svnserve is just the name of one
(currently the only) server implementation.

I think it'd be better to get IANA to change to svnserve rather than
svn.  svnserve is more precise.  But then we're using svn:// for the
URL.  So maybe we don't want to do that.

Thank, Matthew.  I didn't use your patch exactly, but a similar change
is now in the tree.
