docs: T9200: note no-ipv6-auto-ra doesn't stop already-active RA (#2195)
* docs: T9200: note no-ipv6-auto-ra doesn't stop already-active RA no-ipv6-auto-ra only prevents future RA initiation; it doesn't retroactively silence router advertisements already sent on an established session. Confirmed on VyOS 1.5.1: neither a soft nor a hard clear/reset bgp on the neighbor stopped it. Per FRR's bgp_zebra_terminate_radv()/upstream PR FRRouting/frr#19487, that only runs when the neighbor's remote-as is removed and re-added. * docs: T9200: distinguish blast radius of the two RA workarounds remote-as re-add only affects the one neighbor; a bgpd/frr restart clears every BGP session on the router. The note listed them as equivalent options - reframe the restart as a maintenance-window fallback instead. Flagged by CodeRabbit review on PR #2195. * Make the note less wordy --------- Co-authored-by: Daniil Baturin <daniil@baturin.org>

By default, FRR sends RAs on an interface when its BGP session has
negotiated the Extended Next Hop capability, or when a BGP neighbor is
configured by interface name (Unnumbered BGP).
