documentation: man vswitchd.conf.db(5) updated flow-restore-wait
Commit 7ed73428a changed the behavior of flow-restore-wait to
also prevent the switch from connecting to controllers in the
controller table, but failed to update the man page documentation
generated by vswitchd/vswitch.xml to reflect this.
This commit adds that documentation.
