Clarify the format and semantics of the bit-by-bit bitset by the
following changes:
* Explicitly describe the mandatory and optional fields in one paragraph
* Detail what happens if ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK is set
* Clarify that users can set both BIT_INDEX and BIT_NAME fields
To be honest I'm not entirely sure which doc is easier to follow,
before or after this patch :(
Thank you for the feedback. In the v2 patch, I'll focus on adding the
missing explanation rather than restructuring the entire paragraph.

Thank you,
Yohei
