Update SRV record documentation
The KDC has listened to TCP connections by default since commit
8d88e2ab00be126237569dc72827ced2ce6b7d04 (ticket 6731). Update the
documentation for _kerberos._tcp accordingly.
Correct a formatting error introduced by commit
10eb93809b1af06e2b1147aee2e3e50058ba1bbd (ticket 8921).
For _kpasswd._udp, if the _kerberos-adm._tcp fallback is used, the
port number is changed to 464, not 749.
Add entries for _kerberos-master._tcp and _kpasswd._tcp.
