ip.7: Document IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option

Linux commit 91d0b78c5177 ("inet: Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option")

Option is available starting from Linux 6.3. Document it.

+Set or get the per-socket default local port range.
+This option can be used to clamp down the global local port range,
+defined by the
+.I ip_local_port_range
+.I /proc
+interface described below, for a given socket.
+.IP
+The option takes an
+.I uint32_t
+value with
+the high 16 bits set to the upper range bound,
+and the low 16 bits set to the lower range bound.
+Range bounds are inclusive.
+The 16-bit values should be in host byte order.
+.IP
+The lower bound has to be less than the upper bound
+when both bounds are not zero.
+Otherwise, setting the option fails with EINVAL.
+.IP
+If either bound is outside of the global local port range, or is zero,
+then that bound has no effect.
+.IP
+To reset the setting,
+pass zero as both the upper and the lower bound.
