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
