Subject: [PATCH v2] doc: blk-ioprio: Bring the doc in line with the implementation

From: Tang Yizhou <yizhou.tang@...pee.com>

Our system administrator have noted that the names 'rt-to-be' and
'all-to-idle' in the I/O priority policies table appeared without
explanations, leading to confusion. Let's bring these names in line
with the naming in the 'attribute' section.

Additionally,
1. Correct the interface name to 'io.prio.class'.
2. Add a table entry of 'promote-to-rt' for consistency.
3. Fix a typo of 'priority'.
