netconsole.txt: revision of examples for the receiver of kernel messages

There are at least 4 implementations of netcat with the BSD-based
being the only one that has to be used without the -p switch to
specify the listening port.

Jan Engelhardt suggested to add an example for socat(1).

The remote host can run either 'netcat -u -l -p <port>',
'nc -l -u <port>' or syslogd.
The remote host has several options to receive the kernel messages,

1) syslogd
2) netcat
On distributions using a BSD-based netcat version (e.g. Fedora,
openSUSE and Ubuntu) the listening port must be specified without

'nc -u -l -p <port>' / 'nc -u -l <port>' or
'netcat -u -l -p <port>' / 'netcat -u -l <port>'
3) socat
