iplink_bareudp: cleanup help message and man page

* Fix PROTO description in help message (mpls isn't a valid argument).

 * Remove SRCPORTMIN description from help message since it doesn't
   appear in the syntax string.

 * Use same keywords in help message and in man page.

 * Use the "ethertype" option name (.B ethertype) rather than the
   option value (.I ETHERTYPE) in the man page description of
   [no]multiproto.
