The BareUDP documentation had several grammar and spelling mistakes,
making it harder to read. This patch fixes those errors to improve
clarity and readability for developers.

bareudp.rst was written before iproute2 gained support for this new
type of tunnel. Therefore, the sample command lines didn't match the
final iproute2 implementation.

Special handling is needed in bareudp module for IP & MPLS as they
support more than one ethertypes.
MPLS has 2 ethertypes. 0x8847 for MPLS unicast and 0x8848 for MPLS multicast.
While decapsulating MPLS packet from UDP packet the tunnel destination IP
address is checked to determine the ethertype. The ethertype of the packet
will be set to 0x8848 if the tunnel destination IP address is a multicast
IP address. The ethertype of the packet will be set to 0x8847 if the
tunnel destination IP address is a unicast IP address.
IP has 2 ethertypes.0x0800 for IPV4 and 0x86dd for IPv6. The version
field of the IP header tunnelled will be checked to determine the ethertype.
This special handling to tunnel additional ethertypes will be disabled
by default and can be enabled using a flag called multiproto. This flag can
be used only with ethertypes 0x8847 and 0x0800.

The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation
tunnelling module for tunnelling different protocols like MPLS,
IP,NSH etc inside a UDP tunnel.
