Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behavior

This patch provides details on the expected behavior of switchdev
enabled network devices when operating in a "stand alone" mode, as well
as when being bridge members. This clarifies a number of things that
recently came up during a bug fixing session on the b53 DSA switch
driver.
