[PATCH 1/2] doc: fix ice scheduler rate-limiter burst size description

The paragraph describing the ``rl_burst_size`` devarg was mangled
(a mid-sentence line break split "favours throughput" across two
lines with no space), and it did not mention that out-of-range
values are rejected by the driver, which can otherwise look like a
silent no-op to a reader.

Fixes: b3f2afb3b7ea ("net/ice: add scheduler rate-limiter burst size devarg")

   A value of ``0`` (the default) keeps the hardware default.
