doc: correct and standardize instructions for disabling TCP servers
The instructions to set the port to zero to disable a service has not worked for several years: the effect of doing so is to start the service on a port randomly selected by the bind(2) system call. Update the documentation to reflect the new standard way of disabling network services. Change-Id: Ic5315a80f9956ea195f63e05d30d604a980bbc8f Signed-off-by: Peter A.
