usbip: tools: add in man page how to load the client's module
While the man page usbipd.8 already informs the user on which kernel module has to be used on server side, the man page usbip.8 does not provide any equivalent information on client side. Also, it could be hard for a newbie to identify the proper usbip client kernel module, due to the name "vhci-hcd" that has no immediate assonance with usbip. Add in usbip.8 the command to add the module vhci-hcd, similarly as it's already present in usbipd.8 for usbip-host. While there, rephrase the description of the command "usbip list --remote=server".
