bitbake: 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.
