    Correct docs for "kdb5_util load" switches
    
    Remove obsolete parenthetical statement in the description of the
    "-update" switch to "kdb5_util load".  Using the "-update" flag to
    load a second dump made using the "-ov" switch is no longer necessary
    now that the "-r13" format is the default.  Add statement that the
    "-b7" dump format was the default for versions prior to 1.2.2 (to
    match the statement from "dump" section).
