[PATCH] Documentation: pack-protocol correct NAK response

In the transport protocol we use NAK to signal the non existence of a common base, so fix the documentation. This helps readers of the document, as they don't have to wonder about the difference between NAK and NACK. As NACK is used in git archive and upload-archive, this is easy to get wrong.
