Documentation: bareudp: update iproute2 sample commands
bareudp.rst was written before iproute2 gained support for this new type of tunnel. Therefore, the sample command lines didn't match the final iproute2 implementation. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <gnault@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

-There are two ways to create a bareudp device for MPLS & IP with multiproto mode
-enabled.
+The multiproto mode allows bareudp tunnels to handle several protocols of the
