Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] tipc: Clean up configuration file

This patch addresses a number of minor (mostly cosmetic) issues relating
to the configuration of TIPC, including the following:

- Corrects range limits for maximum number of ports per node
- Adds missing range limits for size of log buffer
- Removes configuration setting relating to unsupported slave node capability
- Standardizes description and help text wording for configuration settings
- Removes unneeded blank spaces
