Subject: [PATCH iproute2-net 6/7] man: mptcp: clarify the 'ID' parameter

Explain the range (u8), and the special case for ID 0.

The endpoints here are for all the connections, while the ID 0 is a
special case per connection, depending on the source address used by the
initial subflow. This ID 0 can then not be used for the global
endpoints.
