vxlan: nag user to set port value

This change shifts burden onto the users to choose the UDP port value.
Kernel default value is incorrect UDP port 5287 but now there is
an official assigned port for VXLAN.

The kernel can't change because of legacy compatibility
but new deployments should not use the legacy port value.
