[PATCH] Can't connect to the new server in gnus-server-mode

Every time, from the *Server* buffer, I attempt to register the new
server with some attributes (such as nntp-address, nntp-port-number)
which are disregarded and opening the server tends to fail.

The reason for that seems that `gnus-server-method-cache' needs to be
updated when finished editing the server, since it takes precedence
over `gnus-server-alist' there.

Here is the patch to fix this.

	* gnus-srvr.el (gnus-server-set-info): Clear
	`gnus-server-method-cache' when `gnus-server-alist' is changed.

Thank you for the patch.  I've confirmed the problems are solved
and I've applied it in Gnus CVS.
