bonding: document two undocumented options.
Commit 655f8919d549ad1872e24d826b6ce42530516d2e
bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad
and commit ebd8e4977a87cb81d93c62a9bff0102a9713722f
bonding: add all_slaves_active parameter
introduced new options to bonding, but didn't provide the documentation
for those options.
V2: add the default value for both options.
V3: document the exact behavior of min_links default value.
