Hello,

in the whois output, the Port43 value is incorrectly named "Registrar Whois Server," but in the registry response, this is the registry's whois server, not the registrar's.

Here's an example:

rdap google.xyz --whois

RDAP from Registry:
Domain Name: google.xyz
Handle: D2689447-CNIC
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.nic.xyz

This PR renames the label to a generic "WHOIS Server" to resolve the issue.
