dev-manual/packages.rst: pr server: fix and explain why r0.X increments on SRCREV change

The current example of the SRCREV change triggering a gitX bump is
wrong, as both gitX and r0.X get incremented.

Why this is happening is explained in bug 15729, which I copy here:

> +gitX+ is indeed related to changes in the source code.
>
> r0.X is bumped each time the checksum of the do_package task of the
> simple-hello-world-git recipe changes. This happens here:
> https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes-global/package.bbclass?id=235e6d49e5888ad04416219e10b6df91a738661a#n306
>
> This line sets the value of PRAUTO and represents the number X found in
> r0.X. It will in the end make it into EXTENDPRAUTO, which itself makes
> to PKGR == r0.X.
>
> This line calls getPR(version, pkgarch, checksum). Between test case 5
> and 6, only the checksum changes. This checksum is the checksum of the
> do_package task (gotten from get_do_package_hash() above).
>
> Now, let's dump what changed with regards to this task between two
> consecutive runs, using the sigdata file in build/tmp/stamps/:
>
> ```

> Variable fetcher_hashes_dummyfunc value changed from '2650ad6714c3f3248abfe9d3daf1196f307ed494' to '4af682a50174f5deb0397847da97d7cdba4ad067'
> ```

> The last line shows that the value of fetcher_hashes_dummyfunc changed

> Now you can see why this 0.X gets bumped, is because of the SRCREV change.

Fix the example, and detail what gets changed and why.

Two numbers got incremented here:
- ``gitX`` changed from ``git0`` to ``git1``. This is because there was a
change in the source code (``SRCREV``).
- ``r0.X`` changed from ``r0.0`` to ``r0.1``. This is because the hash of
the :ref:`ref-tasks-package` task changed.
The reason for this change can be many. To understand why the hash of the
:ref:`ref-tasks-package` task changed, you can run the following command:
.. code-block:: console
$ bitbake-diffsigs -t hello-world package
- If PR Service is not enabled, the build system replaces the
``AUTOINC`` placeholder with zero (i.e. "0"). This results in
