[PATCH] Configure.help: Bad URL for CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES

[Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>]

The provided URL for more information re SYN Cookies is bad.  I
originally posted a patch to fix this in the 2.4-pre series but it was
not merged.  I am reposting because I was in need of the URL and again
got stuck on the stale URL in Configure.help.

This is against Configure.help 2.41, as in 2.4.8-ac7.
