gnus.texi : include default values for some variables

gnus.texi : include default values for some variables

[Sriram Karra]

The nodes discussing the virtual server seetings for the various mail
backends do not give out the default values for the various variables.
I had found that quite inconvenient when I was reading those nodes.
Here is a patch that addresses the problem...
