Netty QOTM example broadcast option behavior

["이희승 (Trustin Lee)"]

'false' is correct because the Netty QOTM server does not send a 
broadcast packet.  Actually, the default is 'false', so you don't need 
to set it, but I just did it to make it clear that the server doesn't 
need the broadcast flag set.

By contrast, the client needs the broadcast flag set because it has to 
send a broadcast packet to reach the server.
