docs: admin-guide: remove references to IPX and token-ring

-------
-
-The IPX protocol has no tunable values in proc/sys/net.
-
-The IPX protocol does, however, provide proc/net/ipx. This lists each IPX
-socket giving the local and remote addresses in Novell format (that is
-network:node:port). In accordance with the strange Novell tradition,
-everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that
-are not tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate
-the number of bytes pending for transmission and reception. The state
-indicates the state the socket is in and the uid is the owning uid of the
-socket.
-
-The /proc/net/ipx_interface file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface
-it gives the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is
-the primary network. It also indicates which device it is bound to (or
-Internal for internal networks) and the Frame Type if appropriate. Linux
-supports 802.3, 802.2, 802.2 SNAP and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for
-IPX.
-
-The /proc/net/ipx_route table holds a list of IPX routes. For each route it
-gives the destination network, the router node (or Directly) and the network
-address of the router (or Connected) for internal networks.
