Adjust location of Gnus group split setup process

Updating group splits requires the gnus-newsrc-hashtb to be
initialized. Previously this failed silently, now it errors.

* lisp/gnus/gnus-mlspl.el (gnus-group-split-setup): Don't call the
update when loading the user's init file, that's too early. Use
appropriate hooks depending on AUTO-UPDATE.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Group Mail Splitting): Change mention in docs.
