NPE for processPatentTXT

[lfoppiano]

I've been pointed out to this request: https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Grobid-service/#citation-extraction-and-normalization-from-patents

which is failing with 500:

It's probably something we forgot to test after the migration to dropwizard, I'm opening the ticket not to forget ;-)

The issue was the parameter name (text instead of input), I've uniformed to input as any other there to avoid confusion.
