[racket-dev] fix for serve/servlet docs?

Currently, the documentation says that the default value is
"default-server-root-path" but that is not a link to anything. In the
actual code, this is

(define-runtime-path default-web-root "default-web-root")

I think the right thing to do is just change what the default argument
says to be

(collection-path "web-server" "default-web-root")

rather than the made-up/unlinked name and then use a different phrase
in the prose.

Do you think this would be good? Would you like to make the change and
I'll just rubber stamp it or shall I?
