Documentation fix for gnus-slave

Documentation fix for gnus-slave

[David S. Goldberg]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 243 bytes --]

In response to a question on gnu.emacs.gnus, I propose the attached
patch to gnus.texi which explains why, when starting gnus-slave, one
might be prompted as to whether to read the auto-save file.
