    bitbake-user-manual: Added "path_spec" parameter to SVN Fetcher
    
    Fixes [YOCTO #10405]
    
    The section on the SVN Fetcher was missing information on the
    "path_spec" option.  I added this option and also updated the
    examples at the bottom of the section to include that parameter.
    Also, made the other two examples consistent.
    I also removed the "date" parameter.
    
    Also, updated the "protocol" parameter as well as the "modify"
    parameter.  For "modify" I removed the reference to "rsh". I
    applied a small wording change to the "protocol" parameter.
    
    Finally, I added a new "ssh" parameter.
