The new output for -D was copied into the manual and merged by
the engineering team before checking to see if the manual
would make properly. The next output for -D introduced an
error through the string "<task>". The angled bracket
characters are illegal in docbook and must be replaced by
"<" and ">", respectively. I made this fix.

The section on the SVN Fetcher was missing information on the
"path_spec" option. I added this option and also updated the
examples at the bottom of the section to include that parameter.
Also, made the other two examples consistent.
I also removed the "date" parameter.
Also, updated the "protocol" parameter as well as the "modify"
parameter. For "modify" I removed the reference to "rsh". I
applied a small wording change to the "protocol" parameter.
Finally, I added a new "ssh" parameter.

The package-depends.dot and pn-depends.dot files are inaccurate,
missing out key dependencies such those made via the [depends]
flags. As such they can be misleading to the user.
They mainly exist for historical reasons, coming from a time
before we had task based execution.
This commit removes the two dated file formats and replaces
them with a recipe-depends.dot which is a flattened version
of task-depends.dot.
The old format files are removed if present so that the user
can't get confused about why data might not match between files.
The code is also rewritten to use 'with f: f.write()' syntax as
is more commonly used now. Also update the docs to match the change.
