cvsserver: Don't lie about binary mode in asciidoc documentation
The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set -k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph.

The server should set the -k mode to binary when relevant, however,
138+
this is not really implemented yet. For now, you can force the server
139+
to set `-kb` for all files by setting the `gitcvs.allbinary` config

variable. In proper GIT tradition, the contents of the files are
