The current text states that peers with a lower latency target are
throttled, which is the opposite of the actual behavior. In fact,
blk-iolatency throttles peer groups with a higher latency target in order
to protect the more latency-sensitive group.

In addition, peer groups without a configured latency target are also
throttled, as they are treated as lower priority compared to groups with
explicit latency requirements.

Update the documentation to reflect the correct throttling behavior.

Not a big deal but it could've been confusing.
