Subject: [Rd] Documentation bug in kruskal.test (PR#10404)

The literature reference in the documentation for the function kruskal.test is:

Myles Hollander & Douglas A. Wolfe (1973), Nonparametric statistical inference.
New York: John Wiley & Sons. Pages 115??120. 

But I believe it should be

Myles Hollander & Douglas A. Wolfe (1973), Nonparametric statistical methods.
New York: John Wiley & Sons. Pages 115??120. 

There is a different book from Jean Gibbons called "Nonparametric statistical
inference", but I believe it does not describe the corrected Kruskal Wallis test
statistic, when there are ties in the data...
