WireGuard (Interfaces) page improvements
- Fixing named private key command, not working in the latest version of Vyos
(tested with 1.4-rolling-g7c82c5c7104-20220217). It needs to be the private key.
- Updating the public key in the example to match the private key example, as
generated in the previous section.
- Explaining the persistent-keepalive flag in the RoadWarrior section
