Fix incorrect documentation of minor limitation

* mandos-monitor.xml (BUGS): The name which is hard-coded is the D-Bus

      The file needs to list all clients that should be able to use

74
      runtime changes to the server, which it saves across restarts.

            The <replaceable>TIME</replaceable> is specified as a

            minutes, hours, and weeks, respectively.  The values are

343
            allowed to get the data this server holds.  By default
