Patchwork [IPROUTE] : Fix up "ip link" help text

    [IPROUTE]: Fix up "ip link" help text
    
    Show help for "ip link add" in case its supported by the kernel. Also fix up
    the "ip link set" help text:
    
    - the flags are not mutually exclusive as suggested by the current text,
      up/down states and on/off are mutually exclusive.
    
    - txqueuelen, name etc. have nothing to do with the flags and on/off states
      at all and are certainly not mutually exclusive, fix formatting and make
      it conform the other helptexts better.
