[DBWG] Update to section 1.8 of the AfriNIC whois manual

[Sylvain Baya]

Dear DBWG,

Hope this email finds you in good health!

...i went through the whois db manual [1]
and observed that it may need to be udated a bit. At least i found that the
actual version [2] of the server accept three arguments available for the
-q flag: (i) version; (ii) sources and (iii) types.

[1]: <https://afrinic.net/support/whois/manual>
[2]: 2.8.0 (0b333eb)

The manual mentions only the two first arguments...

[...]
1.8 Other server features
The AFRINIC Database server supports the retrieval of certain information
about itself and the data sets served using a "-q" query flag.

The "-q " flag takes arguments that make the server reply with information
that is not extracted from the Databases it serves but rather about the
system setup. This flag can currently take two arguments:

*version (usage: -q version). Display version information for the server
software.

* sources (usage: -q sources). List all available sources. The format of
the output is:

<source>:<NRTM_protocol_version_#>:<mirroring>:<first>-<last>
[...]

...i hope that someone from AfriNIC's Staff, would take time to update the
whois manual [1].

Thanks.

Shalom,
