ethtool.8: Improve description of RX NFC options
State explicitly that arguments beginning with 'flow-type' will insert or update a rule. Refer consistently to 'flow type' rather than 'network traffic type'. Refer to 'options and rules', covering both flow hashing and steering/filtering. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
