Subject: [PATCH] Fix invalid <clear /> element in nuget.config example

The NuGet section wrote the element as `< clear />` with a space between
the angle bracket and the tag name, in the XML example and twice in the
surrounding prose. XML element names cannot begin with whitespace, so the
example does not parse and NuGet rejects the resulting nuget.config.

The correct spelling `<clear />` is already used in
"Working with the NuGet registry".
