ovs-ofctl: Update push_mpls documentation
* The ethertype of the packet is always set to the ethertype of the push_mpls action * Drop references to unicast and multicast MPLS ethertypes, in RFC5332 0x8847 and 0x8848 do not always have those meanings. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>

If the packet does already contain an MPLS label, pushes a new
outermost label as a copy of the existing outermost label.
