Remove example with descendant-or-self (//) axis #305

The section on axes says: "only the parent, child and self axes are supported"

// is supported by the JR parser but not the evaluator. It's presumably supported by Enketo through the browser implementation. It's not all that helpful when writing forms because deep nesting is not common and where it might be useful (e.g. nested repeats), it's not good performance-wise.
